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

Legionnaires' disease is a rare cause of atypical pneumonia associated with a high mortality rate among untreated patients. In Romania, the disease has historically been underreported due to insufficient surveillance and limited diagnostic capacity. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of Legionnaires' disease cases admitted to a specialized infectious disease hospital between 2023 and 2024, with a particular focus on a cluster associated with travel to a spa resort. Most cases included in our study (31/36) were confirmed by urinary antigen testing, while one case was confirmed by a significant increase in the level of specific antibodies against
