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

Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus was identified in the peritoneal dialysate of a 42-year-old patient undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). The patient initially received intraperitoneal ceftazidime and cefazolin sodium for 10 days, which led to significant symptom relief. However, bacterial cultures of the peritoneal dialysate remained positive. Further history revealed that the patient frequently dined at her father’s home, where turtles were kept, suggesting that turtle feces might be the source of infection. Subsequently, the treatment regimen was changed to oral amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium for 3 days, and the patient was advised to avoid contact with turtles. One week after discharge, follow-up cultures of the peritoneal fluid showed no bacterial growth. This case, combined with a review of the literature, provides valuable insights into the diagnosis and management of this rare infection.
