Analysis of infectious diseases care in Spanish hospitals from 2016 to 2020, including the first year of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

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
aimsThis work aimed to review patients discharged from Spanish hospitals with a principal diagnosis of infection during a 5-year period, including the first year of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. MATERIALS AND
methodThis work analyzed the Basic Minimum Data Set (CMBD) of patients discharged during the 2016⬜2020 period from hospitals in the Spanish National Health Service in order to identify cases with a principal diagnosis of an infectious disease according to the ICD-10-S code. All patients older than 14 years of age admitted to a conventional ward or intensive care unit, excluding labor and delivery, were included in the analysis and were evaluated based on the discharging department.
resultsPatients discharged with infectious diseases as the principal diagnosis have increased from 10% to 19% in recent years. A large part of the growth is due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Internal medicine departments cared for more than 50% of these patients, followed by pulmonology (9%) and surgery (5%). In 2020, 57% of patients with a principal diagnosis of infection were discharged by internists, who cared for 67% of patients with SARS CoV-2.
conclusionsAt present, more than half of patients admitted with a principal diagnosis of infection are discharged from internal medicine departments. Given the growing complexity of infections, the authors advocate for an approach in which training allows for specialization, but within a generalist context, for the better management of these patients.
