1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A 33-year-old female was admitted for community-acquired pneumonia. On presentation, she was tachypneic and tachycardic and leukocytosis at 28,900/µL. Chest imaging showed dense consolidation on the right upper lobe. Due to refractory worsening respiratory failure, she was intubated with mechanical ventilation. Initial bronchoscopy with culture data was negative. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was pursued on the fourth day. Repeat bronchoscopy revealed targetoid ulcerative lesions with erythema in the right middle, lower lobes and left lower lobe. We describe a case of herpes simplex virus pneumonia in an immunocompetent patient that occurred in the setting of acute bacterial infection.
