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: Pulmonary infection in the emergency ICUs increases patient morbidity, hospital stay, treatment costs, and the risk of related adverse events. Methods: This study included 695 patients admitted to our emergency ICU between December 2019 and March 2021. Medical records of emergency ICU patients were reviewed to collect their clinical data, including antibiotic use, history of tracheostomy, history of mechanical ventilation, presence or absence of underlying disease, history of smoking, alcohol consumption, age, gender, and history of shock. Bacterial cultures were performed. The incidence, main clinical features, main pathogens, and risk factors of pulmonary infection in emergency ICU were analyzed. Results: In this study, 69 of the 695 emergency ICU patients (9.93%) developed pulmonary infection. The main clinical features of patients with pulmonary infection included cough and expectoration (97.10%), shortness of breath and chest tightness (95.65%), leukocyte elevation (69.57%), confusion (31.88%), drowsiness (28.99%), persistent fever (27.54%), and nausea and vomiting (10.14%). The main pathogenic bacteria in those with pulmonary infection included Conclusion: Considering the clinical features and risk factors for pulmonary infection in the emergency ICU, preventive and control measures are required to minimize its occurrence and ensure good outcomes.
