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

purposeAlthough bloodstream infection is widely recognized as an important cause of acute morbidity and mortality, long-term mortality outcomes are less well defined. The objective of this study was to define the early (≤28 days) and late (>28 days) mortality and assess determinants of late death following community-onset bloodstream infection.

methodsAll adult residents of the Calgary Zone who had community-onset bloodstream infections during the period 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2007 were included. The mortality outcome was assessed through to 31 December 2008.

resultsA total of 4,553 cases were identified, of which 2,105 (46%) were healthcare-associated and 2,448 (54%) were community-acquired. The 28-day, 90-day, and 365-day all-cause case-fatality rates were 561/4,553 (12%), 780/4,553 (17%), and 1,131 (25%), respectively. Within the first 28 days, the median time to death was 4 (interquartile range [IQR] 1-12) days, with 158 (28%) and 212 (38%) of early (≤28-day) deaths occurring by days 1 and 2, respectively. Among survivors to 28 days (n = 3,992), 570 (14%) suffered late 1-year mortality (i.e., death occurred between 29 and 365 days postinception). The most common causes of death in this cohort as listed by the vital statistics data were malignancy in 220 (39%), cardiovascular in 135 (24%), and infection-related in 37 (7%). Older age, higher Charlson score, prolonged initial admission duration, and healthcare-associated and polymicrobial infections were independently associated with late 1-year mortality.

conclusionsCommunity-onset bloodstream infection is associated with major early and late mortality.
