Bandemia as an Early Predictive Marker of Bacteremia: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Observational study in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
This single-center retrospective observational study aimed to verify whether a diagnosis of bandemia could be a predictive marker for bacteremia. We assessed 970 consecutive patients (median age 73 years; male 64.8%) who underwent two or more sets of blood cultures between April 2015 and March 2016 in both inpatient and outpatient settings. We assessed the value of bandemia (band count > 10%) and the percentage band count for predicting bacteremia using logistic regression models. Bandemia was detected in 151 cases (15.6%) and bacteremia was detected in 188 cases (19.4%). The incidence of bacteremia was significantly higher in cases with bandemia (52.3% vs. 13.3%; odds ratio (OR) = 7.15; 95% confidence interval (CI) 4.91-10.5). The sensitivity and specificity of bandemia for predicting bacteremia were 0.42 and 0.91, respectively. The bandemia was retained as an independent predictive factor for the multivariable logistic regression model (OR, 6.13; 95% CI, 4.02-9.40). Bandemia is useful for establishing the risk of bacteremia, regardless of the care setting (inpatient or outpatient), with a demonstrable relationship between increased risk and bacteremia. A bandemia-based electronic alert for blood-culture collection may contribute to the improved diagnosis of bacteremia.
