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

Objectives Pneumonia is a major cause of death among inpatients at psychiatric hospitals. Psychiatric hospital-acquired pneumonia (PHAP) is defined as pneumonia developed in inpatients at psychiatric hospitals. PHAP is a type of nursing and healthcare-associated pneumonia (NHCAP). The purpose of this study was to clarify the risk factors for mortality among PHAP patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical files of patients transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Matsuzawa Hospital from psychiatric hospitals for PHAP treatment during the 10-year period from September 2007 to August 2017. We analyzed the clinical differences between the survivors and non-survivors and assessed the usefulness of severity classifications (A-DROP, I-ROAD, and PSI) in predicting the prognosis of PHAP. Results This study included a total of 409 PHAP patients, 87 (21.3%) of whom expired and 322 (78.7%) of whom survived. The mortality rates, according to the A-DROP classifications, were 4.9% in the mild cases, 21.6% in the moderate cases, 40.7% in the severe cases, and 47.6% in the very severe cases. The mortality rates, according to the I-ROAD classifications, were 9.5% in group A, 34.7% in group B, and 36.2% in group C. The mortality rates, according to the PSI classifications, were 0% in class II and III, 23.1% in class IV, and 44.9% in class V. The mortality rate increased as the severity increased. We identified 3 factors (age ≥65 years, body mass index ≤18.5 kg/m
