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

purposeThis study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS). PATIENTS AND

methodsA detailed retrospective analysis of clinical records for SFTS patients was conducted. Fifty-one cases confirmed SFTS virus infected were enrolled. The clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters between survivors and non-survivors were analyzed.

resultsAll patients aged between 30 and 80 years were farmers or residing in wooded and hilly areas. All patients occurred between April and October. The major clinical manifestations were fever, fatigue, diarrhea, myalgia, nausea and vomiting. Conscious disturbance, lymph node enlargement and hemorrhage were common. Fatal outcome occurred in 31.4% (16/51) of patients. Compared with survivors group, in non-survivors group, the proportion of consciousness disturbance, age, the levels of AST, LDH, Bun, Cr, PT and APTT were significantly increased, and PLT was significantly decreased. The age, PLT, AST, LDH, Cr, PT and APTT were the risk factors for fatal outcomes. Moreover, the age (OR, 1.245; 95% CI, 1.052-1.474) and APTT (OR, 1.095; 95% CI, 1.005-1.192) were the independent risk factors for fatal outcomes. Heteromorphic lymphocyte and hemophagocytosis could be found in SFTS patients, especially the proportion of finding hemophagocytosis was significantly higher in non-survivors group compared with survivors group.

conclusionThese results suggest SFTS is a systemic infection, the age and APTT can be used as potential predictors referring to severe SFTS cases.
