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 66-year-old woman with liver cirrhosis and hemodialysis was referred with a 1-week history of pain and rash on the left lower leg. On an examination, the patient was in shock. She was administered catecholamine support for septic shock and ampicillin/sulbactam for severe cellulitis. Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) was isolated from the blood culture, and she was diagnosed with streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. Despite therapy, the patient died on day 7 of admission. Infective endocarditis (IE) was diagnosed during an autopsy. Clinicians should be aware that overwhelming SDSE-IE can occur even in the absence of necrotizing fasciitis, especially in immunocompromised patients.
