Effect of serum uric acid level and Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer risk score on febrile neutropenia mortality.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThe study was aimed to evaluate the effect of uric acid (UA) on the 30-day mortality of patients admitted to the tertiary referral hospital with a complaint of febrile neutropenia (FEN). The secondary aim was to evaluate the use of combining serum UA levels with the Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) risk score.
methodsA retrospective study in which the MASCC score and serum UA levels were used to evaluate the mortality risk within 30 days among patients with FEN.
resultsA total of 118 FEN episodes were included in the study and 17 (14%) of these patients died. While this rate is 23% in the high-risk group according to the MASCC score, it is 7% in the low-risk group (p = 0.011). In multivariate analysis of the parameters that significantly affect the 30-day FEN mortality, MASCC risk score (OR, 4.28; CI 95% 1.19-15.39, p = 0.013) and having a level of serum UA > 7 mg/dL (OR, 4.46; CI 95% 1.19-15.38, p = 0.032) was significantly increased the risk of in 30-day mortality of FEN. The rate of 30-day mortality of FEN was 0% in patients with a low MASCC risk score and UA level compared with 50% in the high MASCC risk score and high UA level group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001).
conclusionIncreased level of UA at the time of FEN diagnosis was independently associated with an increased rate of 30-day mortality of FEN. The combination of the MASCC risk score and serum UA level might thoroughly predict the 30-day mortality of FEN.
