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

Staphylococcus aureus bacteremic pneumonia is an uncommon cause of hospitalization, with a high mortality rate. However, published reports are scarce and have included a small number of cases. All patients with S. aureus bacteremic pneumonia were prospectively collected in our institution from 2000 to 2014, and a retrospective revision was performed to identify risk factors associated with methicillin resistance and to update the mortality of this entity. A total of 98 patients were admitted: 57.1 % were due to methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and 42.8 % due to methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). In 40 patients (40.8 %), the infection was community acquired. Thirteen were ventilator-associated pneumonia episodes. The most frequent comorbidities were chronic lung disease (34.7 %), chronic renal failure (31.6 %), diabetes mellitus (29.6 %), and cardiovascular disease (31.6 %). Septic shock was present in 46 patients (46.9 %). The 30-day mortality was 46.9 %. MRSA infections occurred in older patients, more frequently with cardiovascular diseases, and they had received antibiotic treatment in the previous month more often than MSSA-infected patients. Patients with infection due to MSSA presented more frequently with septic shock, but they received more frequently appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy than patients with MRSA pneumonia (96 % vs. 38.1 %), and no differences in mortality were observed between both groups. In conclusion, S. aureus bacteremic pneumonia is a severe infection that, nowadays, affects people with comorbidities and the mortality is still high.
