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

backgroundGram-negative bacteremia rarely cause cardiac implantable electronic device infections (CIEDIs), thus challenging prompt diagnosis and device extraction. CASE SUMMARY: A 57-year-old man with end-stage renal disease and an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for secondary prevention developed persistent Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia despite intravenous antibiotics and elimination of alternative infection sources. He had no pocket infection or echocardiographic evidence of endocarditis. Serial fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography combined with-computed tomography ( DISCUSSION: S. maltophilia is an emerging gram-negative organism that can cause CIEDI. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Maintain suspicion for cardiac device involvement in S. maltophilia bacteremia and use FDG PET CT when CIEDI is unclear.
