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

Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is a critical opportunistic infection, typically seen in immunocompromised individuals. While its association with HIV is well known, there is a growing recognition of PCP in non-HIV patients, often linked to immunosuppressive therapy. However, cases of PCP in patients with liver cirrhosis and without iatrogenic immunosuppression remain underreported. We describe the case of a 72-year-old male patient with advanced liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh score 12) secondary to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. He presented with fever and cough and was diagnosed with PCP based on characteristic imaging findings, elevated serum β-D-glucan, and a positive polymerase chain reaction test for
