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 48-year-old man with Fisher syndrome was admitted to our hospital for amino acid-containing peripheral parenteral nutrition. On day 19 of his hospital stay, he became febrile and Bacillus cereus was isolated from blood cultures. Vancomycin was administered, and the entire infusion set was replaced. The cultures were prepared from the infusion set. B. cereus was detected in several connectors and hubs, although catheter tip culture was negative. Echocardiography revealed cephalic venous thrombophlebitis. In cases with no improvement despite effective antibiotic use, clinicians should consider the possibility that the infusion set might have become contaminated.
