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

Background: Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES) often causes inflammatory damage to multiple organs. However, whether immune/inflammatory indicators and other factors are associated with mortality in patients with IHES remains unclear. Patients and Methods: The clinical data and follow-up results of 167 patients with IHES were retrospectively analyzed using Cox regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results: Of 167 patients, 120 were men (71.9%) and 47 were women (28.1%). The median age was 52 (36.0, 68.0) years. The median follow-up period was 42.8 (18.5, 75.1) months, during which all-cause mortality occurred in 26 patients (15.6%). Age (HR: 1.041, 95% CI: 1.015-1.068; p = 0.002), lymphocyte counts (10 Conclusion: We identified NLR for the first time as an independent predictive factor for all-cause mortality in patients with IHES, necessitating its further application in clinical practice.
