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.

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.

Upon admission, elevated inflammatory parameters prompted the initiation of empirical therapy with ceftriaxone. Although urinalysis, chest X-ray, thoracoabdominopelvic computed tomography, and transthoracic echocardiogram weren't suggestive of infection, an
