What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDESCRIPTION OF CASES: All PJP cases in non-HIV/AIDS patients diagnosed at Istituto Giannina Gaslini Pediatric Hospital in Genoa (Italy) from January 2012 until October 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. Nine cases were identified (median age: 8.3 years), and of these, 6/9 underwent prophylaxis with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX; five once-a-week schedules and one three times-a-week schedule), while 3/9 did not receive this. PJP was diagnosed by real-time PCR for DISCUSSION: Due to the difficulty in obtaining biopsy specimens, PJP diagnosis is usually considered probable in most cases. Moreover, the severity of the clinical presentation often leads physicians to start TMP/SMX treatment empirically. BDG proved to be a useful tool for diagnosis, and CT showed good accuracy in identifying typical patterns. In our center, single-day/week prophylaxis was ineffective in high-risk patients; the three-day/week schedule would, therefore, seem preferable and, in any case, should be started promptly in all patients who have an indication of pneumonia.
