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

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) infection, often diagnosed in immunocompromised patients, is a chronic disease. However, peritonsillar and deep cervical abscesses caused by P. aeruginosa are rare. We herein present the rare case of a 70-year-old male patient with a 5-day history of sore throat and difficult oral intake. The oral cavity was filled with pus and the left palatine tonsil was destroyed. A peritonsillar abscess caused by P. aeruginosa was diagnosed using a pus culture. Emergency incisions were made for tonsil drainage, tracheostomy, and antibacterial drug treatment. Despite infection resolution in 20 days, recovery from swallowing dysfunction required one year of rehabilitation.
