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: The incidence of community-acquired empyema caused by the Case Presentation: A 61-year-old male patient who had undergone surgical treatment for floor of the mouth carcinoma 2 year earlier suddenly presented with left-sided chest pain. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed encapsulated pleural effusion on the left side, which was diagnosed as empyema. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing(mNGS) of the pleural fluid sample indicated mixed infection caused by Conclusion: This case highlights the possibility of concurrent infection with two SAG strains in patients with empyema. Currently, it is unclear whether there is a definitive relationship between a surgical history of carcinoma of the floor of the mouth and empyema caused by infection with SAG strains. This case could, perhaps, serve as a reference for future related research on the topic.
