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

Background: Pulmonary nocardiosis (PN) is a rare life-threatening opportunistic infection, particularly involving immunocompromised patients, including kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). This study aimed to present a case of PN in a KTR and review published cases to describe the demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics of PN in this population. Methods and results: Here, we report a case of PN in a 68-year-old diabetic patient with a history of kidney transplantation. Upon admission, antimicrobial and antifungal therapy was initiated empirically, considering a chest CT suggestive of fungal infection and pneumonia. In further evaluations, Conclusion: Physicians should consider the diagnosis of PN in the differential diagnosis of KTR presenting with pneumonia, especially within the first six months post-transplant, when the risk of nocardiosis is elevated due to intensive immunosuppression.
