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

Mortality of renal transplant recipients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains high, despite advances in critical care management. There is still a lack of biomarkers for predicting prognosis of these patients. The present study aimed to investigate the association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and mortality in renal transplant recipients with severe CAP. A total of 111 renal transplant recipients with severe CAP admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) were screened for eligibility between 1 January 2009 and 30 November 2018. Patient characteristics and laboratory test results at ICU admission were retrospectively collected. There were 18 non-survivors (22.2%) among 81 patients with severe CAP who were finally included. Non-survivors had a higher NLR level than survivors (26.8 vs. 12.3,
