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

backgroundRhodococcus infections are exceedingly rare and largely reported in immunocompromised hosts, with no consensus on optimal therapy due to limited evidence. CASE PRESENTATION: This article reports for the first time a case of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis caused by Rhodococcus pyridinivorans in a patient with diabetic nephropathy. The dialysate leukocyte count declined substantially with combination antimicrobial therapy, but complete normalization occurred only after replacing icodextrin with a glucose-based dialysate.

conclusionsThese findings support the use of combination regimens and emphasize the need to consider icodextrin-associated sterile peritonitis when dialysate abnormalities persist despite appropriate antimicrobial treatment.
