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

This study aims to explore the application value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of protective bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in the differential diagnosis and pathogenetic identification of nonresponding pneumonia. This study analyzed patient symptoms, auxiliary examinations including pathogen detection, and treatment response to identify the reasons for the lack of response to initial treatment and the pathogenetic diagnosis of pulmonary infections. The diagnostic efficacy of pathogen culture and mNGS was statistically analyzed and compared based on the clinical diagnosis criteria. (1) The two most common reasons for the ineffectiveness of initial treatment in nonresponding pneumonia cases are that (i) the initial treatment did not cover the pathogenic bacteria in pulmonary infection cases and that (ii) non-infectious pulmonary diseases were responsible. The most common pathogens in pulmonary infection cases of nonresponding pneumonia are
