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

We report a microbiological and pathological investigation of a juvenile male humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) stranded in Mostardas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Macroscopically, the lung parenchyma exhibited a diffuse hyperemia, that on histological examination was composed of suppurative bronchopneumonia associated with necrosis of the bronchial epithelium. Microbiological analyses of the lung tissue demonstrated pure and significant growth of Granulicatella balaenopterae. Lastly, on the microscopic exam, the whale presented a pattern of meningoencephalitis and bacterial enterocolitis lesions, however, the etiology was not able to be accurately determined. G. balaenoptera is a bacterium that has already been detected in marine mammals; however, before this report, it had never been associated with a lesion. It is suggested that the humpback whale has been stranded due to combined disease factors such as pneumonia and meningoencephalitis.
