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: Except for their role in bacterial endocarditis, nonpneumococcal Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all adult patients from 2017 to 2025 who had SMG bacteremia at 3 hospitals within the Texas Medical Center. SMG bacteremia was defined as isolation of Results: Among 253 patients, neutropenia-associated bacteremia was most common (29.6%), followed by pneumonia (9.5%), infective endocarditis (8.7%), skin, soft tissue, or bone infections (7.9%), and other identified sources (12%). No clear source was identified in 9.5% of cases. Only 22.9% were classified as contaminants. High-grade bacteremia was common, with 47% of cases having ≥3 positive blood culture bottles. In contrast, patients in whom SMG was regarded as contaminant nearly always had only a single-bottle positive. Conclusions:
