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

This systematic review aimed to consolidate findings on the etiology of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) among Indian adults. We adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Guidelines 2020 and conducted a comprehensive search across databases including PubMed, Scopus-Elsevier, and hand-searched reference lists using key terms such as "Community-Acquired Pneumonia," "CAP," "Indian," and "adults." Articles published between January 2010 and January 2024 were included, with exclusions for studies involving pediatric populations, non-Indian patients, or those published before 2010. From an initial pool of 344 articles, duplicates were removed and titles and abstracts were screened, resulting in nine studies meeting the inclusion criteria. The analysis of pooled data comprising 1,643 Indian adult participants revealed the following pathogen distribution:
