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: Colistin is a last-line antibiotic used to treat multidrug-resistant Case Presentation: We report the case of a 63-year-old woman who received polymyxin B (intravenous plus inhalation) combined with tigecycline and vancomycin for pulmonary infection caused by extensive drug resistant Conclusion: Polymyxin B may cause muscle injury presenting with marked MB elevation, a rare but serious adverse reaction. Clinicians should closely monitor CK, MB, and renal function, especially in critically ill patients receiving combination therapy. Early recognition and timely intervention are essential for managing this potential adverse reaction.
