Risk Factors for Mortality Due to Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in a Chinese Hospital: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
BACKGROUND As a common nosocomial infection, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) often has high mortality. This study aimed to assess the risk factor for mortality owing to VAP. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective clinical audit study screened medical records between the period of January 2014 and December 2017. All patients under mechanical ventilation MV) for ≥72 hours were screened against previously reported diagnostic criteria for VAP. The medical records were obtained for cases of documented diagnosis of VAP. RESULTS In all, 145 patients (5.0%) diagnosed with VAP were included in the study; the morbidity of VAP was 19.5 episodes per 1000 days of MV. The 30-day mortality rate was 42.8%. Univariate logistic analysis showed that elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), high blood urea nitrogen/albumin (BUN/ALB) ratio, Multidrug-resistant organism infection, and a higher sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score were risk factors for mortality caused by VAP. In the second multivariate analysis, elevated NLR levels (P=0.038), high BUN/ALB ratio (P=0.016), multidrug-resistant organism infections (P=0.036), and a higher SOFA score (P<0.001) were still associated with the 30-day mortality rate. CONCLUSIONS The 30-day mortality rate of VAP was high. Blood NLR and BUN/ALB levels can be used as risk factors to assess the 30-day VAP-related mortality to help clinicians improve the prognosis of VAP.
