Impact of Infectious Disease Consultation on Clinical Management and Outcome of Patients with Bloodstream Infection: a Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
The impact of consultation by infectious diseases (ID) physicians on management and outcomes of patients has not been determined in China. We assembled a retrospective cohort of 995 consecutive adult cases with bloodstream infections (BSI) in a major teaching hospital in China. Survival analysis was performed with Cox regression and the Kaplan-Meier curves. Among the 995 patients with BSI, 421 (42.3%) received consultation by ID physicians and 574 (57.7%) did not. ID consultation led to a significant lower hazard of death (hazard ratio [HR], 0.575; P < 0.05) and more appropriate antimicrobial use (95.0% vs 67.6%, P < 0.05). ID consultation was a protective factor among patients with BSI due to Gram-positive (HR, 0.551; P < 0.05) or Gram-negative (HR, 0.331; P < 0.05) bacteria. Multiple ID consultation was a protective factor (HR, 0.51; P < 0.05), while single consultation was not. In conclusion, ID consultation led to significant lower risk for patients with BSI and improved management. Multiple rather than single ID consultations reduced the hazard of death.
