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 clinical isolate, R131, was isolated from the peritoneal swab of a patient who suffered from ruptured appendicitis with abscess and gangrene in Hong Kong in 2018. Cells are facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, Gram-positive coccobacilli. Colonies were small, grey, semi-translucent, low convex and alpha-haemolytic. The bacterium grew on blood agar but not on Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) and Mueller-Hinton agars. It was negative for catalase, oxidase, indole and aesculin hydrolysis. The initial identification attempts via matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene sequencing yielded inconclusive results. The 16S rRNA gene analysis showed that R131 shared >99% nucleotide identity with certain uncultured
