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

Three Nocardia asteroides and five Nocardia otitidiscaviarum isolates recovered from three patients with long-term nocardiosis were compared by random amplification of polymorphic DNA fingerprinting, antibiotic susceptibility testing, and enzymatic characterization. Results obtained with primer DKU49 (P. Palittapongarnpim, S. Chomyc, A. Fanning, and D. Kunimoto, J. Infect. Dis. 167:975-978, 1993) provide evidence that patient A was infected by two N. asteroides strains during a single episode of nocardiosis and that patients B and C remained infected by the same strain, respectively. Resistance to minocycline that was present in the first isolate recovered from patient B reverted to intermediate resistance in the second isolate and reverted to susceptibility in the third isolate. Resistance to penicillin G and beta-lactams was acquired by the second isolate obtained from patient C.
