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/

objectivesCommunity-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is classified into typical and atypical forms, with

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2016 to June 2022 at two tertiary hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. All inpatients diagnosed with CAP by imaging and clinical findings were included, excluding viral cases. Outcomes measured included pathogen testing and identification, hospitalization duration, ICU stay, and in-hospital mortality.

resultsAmong 1238 CAP hospitalizations, 65% underwent molecular testing, with atypical pathogens detected in 17 cases (2.09%).

conclusionsPCR molecular testing was performed in 65% of patients hospitalized with CAP, and atypical pneumonia organisms were uncommon in these patients, with
