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

purposeMATERIALS AND

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed patients with PJP who were admitted to a single tertiary center for 15 years. PJP patients were classified according to the presence or absence of HIV, and differences in their clinical characteristics and prognoses were analyzed. Forty-four HIV-PJP patients and 175 non-HIV-PJP patients were included.

resultsCough, dyspnea, typical computed tomography findings of PJP, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonitis co-infection were more common in the HIV-PJP group. The durations from symptom onset to PJ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing and to the start of treatment were longer in the HIV-PJP group; however, the time from the PJ PCR test to antibiotic administration was shorter in the HIV-PJP group. The 28-day survival rates were 68.6% and 88.6% in the non-HIV-PJP and HIV-PJP groups, respectively (

conclusionThe clinical characteristics of patients with HIV-PJP and non-HIV-PJP were statistically different. The initial clinical features appeared to be worse in the HIV-PJP group; however, the 28-day mortality rate was higher in the non-HIV-PJP group.
