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

Pseudomonas otitidis bacteremia is rare. We herein report a case of bacteremia caused by P. otitidis in a patient with advanced appendiceal cancer. A 79-year-old Japanese man developed infection when he was admitted to our hospital for palliative care. Blood culture revealed the presence of Pseudomonas spp. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to identify the organism accurately. The patient was treated with a two-week course of piperacillin/tazobactam, and the bacteremia was successfully controlled. Clinicians should be aware that P. otitidis can cause bacteremia, particularly in immunocompromised patients.
