Delayed diagnosis of pneumonia in the emergency department: factors associated and prognosis.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Whether a delayed diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the emergency department (ED) is associated with worse outcome is uncertain. We sought factors associated with a delayed diagnosis of CAP in the ED and those associated with in-hospital mortality. Methods: Retrospective study including all inpatients admitted to an ED (Dijon University Hospital, France) from 1 January to 31 December 2019, and hospitalized with a diagnosis of CAP. Patients diagnosed with CAP in the ED ( Results: 435 inpatients were included: 361 (83%) with an early and 74 (17%) with a delayed diagnosis. The latter less frequently required oxygen (54 vs. 77%; Conclusion: Delayed diagnosis of pneumonia was associated with a less severe clinical presentation, lack of obvious signs of pneumonia on chest X-ray, and delayed antibiotics initiation, but was not associated with worse outcome.
