Recurrent Bloodstream Infections Without Sepsis in a Patient With Short Bowel Syndrome on Parenteral Nutrition: A Case of Potential Sepsis Tolerance.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Adults with short bowel syndrome (SBS), malabsorption, and malnutrition often require long-term parenteral nutrition (PN), typically as total PN (TPN). These patients are susceptible to bloodstream infections and sepsis. We present a case of a 63-year-old male patient who developed SBS following an acute mesenteric event. During his follow-up, he experienced recurrent episodes of bacteremia and fungemia, likely due to non-adherence to infection prevention guidelines. Surprisingly, all but the final episode did not progress to sepsis. He recovered from these infections with fluid resuscitation and appropriate systemic antibiotics or antifungals and removal of the infected venous access when indicated. We hypothesize that this patient developed a state of tolerance to sepsis. The potential mechanisms that contribute to protection from sepsis in this patient with recurrent bloodstream infections are discussed.
