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

objectiveTo assess the impact of blood glucose levels on the prognosis of patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) who were elderly or middle-aged.

methodsFrom January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020, patients with CAP (≥45 years) were retrospectively enrolled in this observational study. They were stratified by age (45-64 or ≥65 years) and blood glucose level (≥11.1 or <11.1 mmol/l). The effect of admission blood glucose on 28-day mortality was assessed with the Cox proportional hazards model, adjusted for demographic factors and comorbidity.

resultsAmong 1656 patients with CAP, increased blood glucose (HR=2.08, 95% CI: 1.38-3.49;

conclusionThe association of blood glucose level upon admission for CAP with all-cause mortality was stronger at younger ages.
