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

backgroundMortality in burn patients has several contributing factors as sex, age, degree of burns, or inhalation injuries. Usefulness of

methodsFrom 1988 to 2011, 877 burn intensive care patients were evaluated for age, sex, total burn surface area (TBSA), multi organ failure (MOF), burn depth, escharotomy, fasciotomy, antibiotic use, co-morbidities, CAG titer and intubation.

resultsFrom 870 admitted patients, 190 patients were not enrolled. Increasing age was correlated with a higher mortality. The abbreviated burn severity index (ABSI) score of the deceased was 4 points and the TBSA was 20% higher than the survivors. The correlation for age, intubation, TBSA, inhalation injury, MOF, CAG titer, antibiotic use and escharotomy was significant. An increasing mortality was noted with antibiotic use and a CAG titer of 1:8 and higher. CAG titer of 1:8 and higher had a sensitivity of 51.1% and specificity of 86.3% for mortality. Multivariate analysis confirmed high influence of older age, MOF, comorbidities, antibiotic use and CAG titer of 1:8 and higher on mortality. There was a significant correlation for sex, younger age and CAG titer.

conclusionCAG titers of 1:8 and higher might warrant beginning of antimycotic treatment in elderly patients with high TBSA to avoid increase in mortality.
