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

Lung abscesses can be difficult to treat despite long antibiotic courses, and treatment failure is frequently observed. Percutaneous drainage or surgical resection may be considered in select patients, and intracavitary antimicrobial instillation has been described for treatment failure in highly selected cases. We present a case of an immunosuppressed patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome who required mechanical ventilation and venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation due to
