Risk Factors of Septic Metastatic Infection among Patients with Klebsiella pneumoniae Liver Abscess in Singapore: A Case-Control Study.
Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Metastatic infection resulting from Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess (KPLA) results in high mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with metastatic infection among patients with KPLA in Singapore. A retrospective case-control analysis among adult patients admitted to the National University Hospital with KPLA between 2013 and 2017 was conducted. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis was conducted. Of the 116 KPLA patients, 38.8% had pulmonary metastatic infection. Length of hospital stay (P = 0.001) and intensive care unit admissions (P = 0.044) were significantly longer and greater, respectively, among the patients with metastatic infection. Sepsis-induced hypotension (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 4.88; 95% CI, 1.1-21.69), breathlessness (AOR, 5.10; 95% CI, 1.42-18.27), and abscess size (AOR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.03) were associated independently with septic metastatic infection. Patients with KPLA who had breathlessness and larger abscess size are at a greater risk of septic metastatic infection.
