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 69-year-old female patient with known recurrence of esophageal cancer presented with fever and elevated inflammatory markers. In the recent past, a suspicious mediastinal lymph node had been biopsied via bronchoscopy. Consequently, a lymph node abscess developed, leading to blood stream infection (pathogen: Streptococcus anginosus) via a fistula into the superior vena cava. Through a preexisting atrial septal defect, the infection also spread to the brain, causing multiple brain abscesses.
