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
backgroundPatients with cirrhosis are at increased risk of
methodsThe Nationwide Inpatient Sample from 2016-2017 identified 8245 hospitalized patients with a concurrent diagnosis of cirrhosis and CDI. Our primary outcome was in-hospital all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes were length of stay (LOS), hospitalization charges and costs, shock, sepsis, acute kidney injury (AKI), intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and home discharge.
resultsThere was no significant difference in all-cause in-hospital mortality between patients with cirrhosis compared to patients without cirrhosis (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.89-1.93; P=0.16). Patients with cirrhosis had a slightly but statistically significantly longer mean LOS (+0.57 days, P=0.001). The adjusted difference in mean hospitalization charges was greater in patients with cirrhosis ($+4094, 95%CI $1080-7108; P=0.008), as was the mean hospitalization cost ($+1349, 95%CI $600-2098; P<0.001). There was no difference in the likelihood of sepsis, ICU admission, or home discharge between the groups. Patients with cirrhosis were significantly less likely to develop AKI (aOR 0.82, 95%CI 0.72-0.93; P=0.003).
conclusionsMortality outcomes associated with CDI have improved over time. Patients with cirrhosis continue to exhibit greater LOS and hospital costs.
