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

backgroundInfection is a major complication in aplastic anemia (AA) patients. Primary objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of infections and to determine types of pathogens associated with infections in patients with AA. Secondary objectives were to evaluate overall survival after infections as well as risk factors of infections in patients with AA.

methodsThe authors retrospectively evaluated the infectious episodes (IEs), type of infections, associated pathogens, and outcomes of infections in patients with AA who were diagnosed and treated at Chiang Mai University between January 2010 and December 2015.

resultsSixty-seven patients with a median age of 51 years (range, 15-87 years) were enrolled. Forty two patients (62.6%) were severe AA. Median absolute neutrophil count (ANC) was 984 /mm

conclusionsPrevalence of infections in AA patients in Chiang Mai University was 32.8% Bacterial infections especially gram-negative bacteria were the major pathogens. Patients with ANC < 500/mm
