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

backgroundThis study aimed to identify factors associated with antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) in patients in the department of intensive care medicine who received antibiotic monotherapy in order to reduce the incidence of AAD and improve rational use of antibiotics in these patients.

aimTo report the incidence of AAD and the factors associated with AAD in patients receiving antibiotic monotherapy.

methodsThe study used a single-center retrospective design. A total of 209 patients were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups: No-AAD group (without AAD) and AAD group (with AAD). There were 45 cases in the AAD group and 164 cases in the no-AAD group. Clinical data of all patients were collected. Data were analyzed using SPSS (version 18.0), and statistical significance was set at

resultsThe overall incidence of AAD was 21.53%. Age [odds ratio (OR) 1.022, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.001-1.044,

conclusionOlder age, longer ICU stay time, duration of use of proton pump inhibitors, and duration of antibiotic increase the incidence of AAD in ICU patients receiving antibiotic monotherapy.
