The impact of blood glucose on community-acquired pneumonia: a retrospective cohort study.

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.
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
Hyperglycaemia is common in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and is a predictor of severe outcomes. Data are scarce regarding whether this association is affected by diabetes mellitus (DM) and also regarding its importance for severe outcomes in hospital. We determined the impact of blood glucose on severe outcomes of CAP in hospital. We studied 1318 adult CAP patients hospitalised at three Danish hospitals. The association between blood glucose and DM status and severe clinical outcome (admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) and/or in-hospital mortality) was assessed by logistic regression. Models were adjusted for CURB-65 score and comorbidities. 12% of patients had DM. In patients without DM an increase in admission blood glucose was associated with risk for ICU admittance (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.13-1.39), but not significantly associated with in-hospital mortality (OR 1.10, 95% CI 0.99-1.23). In patients with DM an increase in admission blood glucose was not associated with ICU admittance (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.00-1.12) or in-hospital mortality (OR 1.05, 95% CI 0.99-1.12). An increase in admission blood glucose (only in patients without DM) was associated with a higher risk for ICU admittance and a trend towards higher in-hospital mortality. DM was not associated with a more severe outcome of CAP.
