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

Background: In China, due to the large population, infections caused by Nocardia may not be as rare. Unfortunately, there is still inadequate knowledge of the clinical impact caused by Nocardia. This study aimed to compare the clinical characteristics and treatment of localized and disseminated nocardiosis. Methods: The clinical and microbiological data of patients diagnosed with nocardiosis in a tertiary hospital in Beijing from July 2011 to July 2021 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Results: Among the 54 nocardiosis cases, 34 cases were in the localized infection group, while 20 cases in the disseminated infection group. The proportion of patients with chronic structural lung disease was higher in the localized group ( Conclusion: There were differences in the clinical profiles between patients with localized and disseminated nocardiosis in terms of clinical presentation, infection site, radiological features, treatment, and prognosis. These findings may provide references for the management and treatment of patients with nocardiosis.
