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

Purpose: Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was performed over a 10-year period to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of PCP in HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected adults treated in Beijing, China from 2010 to 2019. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify mortality risk factors to create the nomograms. Nomogram models were evaluated by using a bootstrapped concordance index, calibration plots and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: A total of 167 HIV-uninfected and 193 HIV-infected PCP patients were included in the study. Pneumothorax, duration of fever after admission, CD4+ T cells ≤100/µL and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) combined with caspofungin (CAS) treatment were independent risk factors for death in HIV-uninfected PCP patients. We derived a well calibrated nomogram for mortality by using these variables. The area under the curve was 0.865 (95% confidence interval 0.799-0.931). Independent risk factors for death in HIV-infected PCP patients were pneumothorax, platelet (PLT) ≤80×10 Conclusion: The nomograms which were derived may be useful tools for the precise prediction of mortality in HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected patients, but require validation in clinical practice.
