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

objectivesTo tested the ability of N-myc and STAT interactor (NMI) levels in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) to predict the severity of the disease.

methodsProspective observational analysis of patients with CAP was performed. The NMI levels in serum of 394 CAP patients on admission were measured by immunoassay. Thirty-day mortality and intensive care unit (ICU) admission were set as clinical outcomes. The predicting value of NMI for clinical outcomes was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve and logistic regression analysis. The internal validity was assessed using cross-validation with bootstrap resampling.

resultsNMI was an independent risk factor for both 30-day mortality and admission to ICU for CAP patients. The area under curve (AUC) of NMI to predict mortality was 0.91 (95% CI: 0.86-0.96), and that to predict ICU admission was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.88-0.97), significantly higher than that of other biomarkers including procalcitonin and C-reactive protein. The proportion of clinical outcomes notably rose as NMI levels elevated (P < 0.001). The AUCs of the new score systems including NMI (N-PSI and N-CURB65 score) to predict outcomes were significantly higher than the original score systems.

conclusionsNMI is a novel biomarker for predicting CAP severity superior to former biomarkers in 30-day mortality and ICU admission.
