Can Serum Fibrinogen Predict ARDS?
Article in Infectious diseases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has a worldwide mortality of 10% to 30% with severe pneumonia being the primary cause. Diagnosis relies on clinical criteria which may lead to under-recognition and delayed evidence-based interventions. In previous studies, plasma fibrinogen was associated with progression to ARDS among patients with severe pneumonia. This is a prospective cohort study wherein we hypothesized that levels of plasma fibrinogen and change in levels of fibrinogen can predict development of ARDS among a cohort of patients with severe pneumonia based on the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS) consensus criteria. After acquiring consent, plasma fibrinogen levels were extracted upon enrollment and after 48 hours. These extraction times were arbitrarily chosen to determine whether levels rise or decline in relation to the course of disease. A total of 47 patients were prospectively followed within 7 days of enrollment, then divided into 2 groups, which included those who developed ARDS (n = 12, 25%) and those who did not (n = 35, 75%). Fibrinogen levels at baseline had sensitivity and specificity of 41.7% and 57.1%, respectively (
