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

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is characterized by the presence of gas in the gastrointestinal wall. It is rarely observed in patients with pulmonary Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection, although the exact mechanisms are unclear. We, herein, present a case of PCI potentially associated with long-term antibiotic therapy for pulmonary MAC infection. An 83-year-old woman developed PCI after 3 years of antibiotic therapy for a pulmonary MAC infection, with subsequent improvement following the discontinuation of antibiotics. Based on the clinical course, we suggest that clinicians consider the development of PCI, especially in patients receiving long-term antibiotic therapy for pulmonary MAC infection.
