Infectious Disease Consults of
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background: Infectious diseases (ID) consultation improves health outcomes for certain infections but has not been well described for Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2018, of adult hospitalized veterans with PA BSI and antibiotic treatment 2 days before through 5 days after the culture date. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) cultures were defined as cultures with resistance to at least 1 agent in ≥3 antimicrobial categories tested. Multivariable logistic regression models were fit to assess the impact of ID consults and adequate treatment on mortality. Results: A total of 3256 patients had PA BSI, of whom 367 (11.3%) were multidrug resistant (MDR). Most were male (97.5%), over 65 years old (71.2%), and White (70.9%). Nearly one-fourth (n = 784, 23.3%) died during hospitalization, and 870 (25.8%) died within 30 days of their culture. Adjusted models showed that ID consultation was associated with decreased in-hospital (odds ratio [OR], 0.47; 95% CI, 0.39-0.56) and 30-day mortality (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.42-0.62). Conclusions: Consultation with ID physicians improves clinical outcomes such as in-hospital and 30-day mortality for patients with PA BSI. ID consultation provides value and should be considered for patients with PA BSI.
