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

backgroundRhizobium radiobacter is an opportunistic pathogen found in soil. It can cause infections in adults and children. In children, it is most often associated with peritonitis or systemic infections. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a rare case of pleural infection with Rhizobium radiobacter. The patient was a 4-year-old girl of Malian origin. She weighed 12 kg and was 95 cm tall. She was immunocompetent, wore no medical devices, and her vaccinations were up to date. She was successfully treated with antibiotics and oxygen therapy for 60 days.

conclusionAlthough Rhizobium radiobacter is considered a contaminant, it can cause pleurisy in children.
