Psittacosis Pneumonia Features, Distinguishing Characteristics, and Outcomes: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Purpose: Psittacosis is an often-neglected cause of community acquired pneumonia (CAP). The limited diagnostic methods for psittacosis pneumonia invariably result in an unfavourable prognosis. Consequently, the early detection of psittacosis pneumonia is crucial. This study aimed to analyse the characteristics, clinical features and treatments of the patients to improve early diagnosis and outcomes. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features and outcomes of 52 cases of psittacosis pneumonia diagnosed with next-generation sequencing (NGS) from January 2022 to August 2024 in a local tertiary hospital in China. Results: Of the 52 patients, 18 had a clear exposure to poultry or birds. The main clinical manifestations included fever (100%, 52/52), cough (75.0%, 39/52), fatigue (57.7%, 30/352), and dyspnea (36.5%, 19/52). Significant elevations in neutrophil counts (NEUT), C-reactive protein (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ), as well as reductions in lymphocyte (LY) and albumin (ALB) were observed. The main chest computed tomography (CT) features were consolidated. Eight patients diagnosed with severe CAP (SCAP) exhibited higher NEUT, CRP, procalcitonin (PCT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, D-Dimer and IL-6 levels, as well as lower oxygen index. The interval between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis was 6-34 days. Conclusion: Patients exposed to poultry should be alert to
