[Laboratories as predictors of length of hospital stay in patients with pneumonia].
Observational study in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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: There are several factors that influence the length of hospital stay (LoHS) in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). There is currently no study in the literature that correlates laboratory parameters at hospital admittance with the LoHS. Objective: To find the association of laboratory parameters with the LoHS in patients with community-acquired pneumonia. Material and methods: An observational, prospective, longitudinal, and controlled study was conducted in the emergency room of a secondary level hospital. Results: The mean time of LoHS in patients with CAP was 6.6 ± 3.0 days. The parameters of laboratory of monocytes, basophils and segmented neutrophils presented a correlation (Spearman rho) of 0.363, 0.364 and 0.331; p =0.02, 0.02 and 0.04, respectively, with LoHS. Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) presented a relative risk (RR) of 2.8 (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.41-5.56; p < 0.001), and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) a RR 1.94, (95%CI: 1.31-2.88; p = 0.03) associated with prolonged LoHS. Conclusions: LoHS in patients with CAP is related to the counting of monocytes, basophils, and neutrophils at the time of the hospital admittance and it was increased in patients with SAH and patients with COPD.
