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

backgroundPseudomonas stutzeri is a ubiquitous saprophyte and opportunistic pathogen capable of forming colonies and biofilms in various ecological niches, including soil and water. According to previous reports, this is a crucial virulence factor, enabling the bacterium to infect immunocompromised patients and individuals with a history of previous surgery, relapsed infective endocarditis after several years in patients with heart disease, trauma, skin infections, cardiovascular disease, or prosthetic devices. This report details an uncommon gastrointestinal infection resulting from P. stutzeri in a patient who has cardiovascular disease. CASE PRESENTATION: This report presents the case of a 61-year-old Iranian livestock farmer who was admitted to our hospital in the southern Fars province, Iran, with bloody diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and chills. The patient had a medical history including ischemic heart disease, hypertension, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, as well as a left bundle branch block. He had undergone a coronary angiogram the previous year. During his admission and hospitalization, an increase in total white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein levels led to suspicion of an infection with associated inflammation. According to the bacteriology laboratory, the bloody diarrhea specimen was cultured, and the BD Phoenix

conclusionsCorresponding to previous case reports about the relapse of P. stutzeri in patients with heart failure, this case report shows how patients with heart failure and a history of cardiovascular disease may be at increased risk of contracting an intestinal infection of P. stutzeri from the environment.
