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 case of necrotizing pneumonia caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in an athletic, 54-year-old apnea diver. Since hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains prevail in Southeast Asia and are mainly associated with "invasive liver abscess syndrome", we considered and tested for hypervirulence only when the necrotizing pneumonia turned out to be refractory to initial antibiotic treatment. Although the hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strain in our patient did not show multi-drug resistance, a total of 6 months of high-dose antibiotic therapy was necessary to cure the infection.
