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

Objective: Treating ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by carbapenem-resistant Methods: In a randomized controlled clinical trial, the patients with CRAB-related VAP were randomly assigned to experimental ( Findings: The complete response rate was higher ( Conclusion: The colistin/rifampin combination can be considered an alternative regimen to colistin/meropenem in the treatment of VAP caused by CRAB.
