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: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Case presentation: We report the case of an 8-year-old boy with chronic malnutrition and recurrent severe pneumonia associated with an underlying central nervous system disorder. He developed recurrent respiratory failure and a persistent pulmonary infection caused by ESBL-producing MDR Conclusion: This case suggests that, in severely malnourished children with refractory multidrug-resistant pulmonary bacterial and fungal infections, WMT may have potential adjunctive value as part of comprehensive management. However, because multiple interventions were implemented concurrently and no pre- and post-WMT microbiome sequencing was performed, the observed clinical improvement could not be attributed exclusively to WMT. Therefore, this case should be interpreted only as an exploratory clinical observation rather than confirmatory evidence, and future prospective studies under strict ethical oversight need to be conducted.
