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

A 65-year-old woman diagnosed with group A streptococcal vaginosis was admitted to our hospital with pyothorax. Abscess drainage was performed, and antimicrobial agents were administered; however, hematuria, proteinuria, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and renal dysfunction developed. Conservative management did not improve kidney or systemic conditions. A renal biopsy confirmed post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN). Glucocorticoid treatment improved the kidney and systemic findings. Bacterial vaginosis rarely causes PIGN. Hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia are infrequent complications of PIGN, and glucocorticoids may be effective for their treatment.
