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

Bilophila wadsworthia is rarely found in the bloodstream. We report the first case of bloodstream infection caused by B. wadsworthia in a diabetic foot patient in China. B. wadsworthia is a normal component of the human intestinal microbiota, and a history of diarrhea may contribute to its translocation into the bloodstream. Due to the slow growth of B. wadsworthia, prolonged incubation was essential for its detection. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) enabled rapid identification of the pathogen. Early initiation of Piperacillin/Tazobactam therapy resulted in a favorable clinical outcome.
