Nausea Predicts Bacteremia in Immunocompetent Patients with Pneumococcal Community-Acquired Pneumonia: Secondary Data Analysis from a Prospective Cohort.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), bacteremia is associated with increased mortality, but initial clinical severity scores frequently fail to identify bacteremic patients at risk. We have previously shown that gastrointestinal symptoms are common among patients admitted to the hospital with pneumococcal bacteremia. The aim of this study was to examine gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory responses in bacteremic and non-bacteremic pneumococcal CAP in a prospective cohort of immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients hospitalized with CAP.
methodsLogistic regression analysis was used to estimate the predictive value of gastrointestinal symptoms for pneumococcal bacteremia in patients with CAP. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare inflammatory responses in patients with bacteremic vs. non-bacteremic pneumococcal CAP.
resultsEighty-one patients with pneumococcal CAP were included, of whom 21 (26%) had bacteremia. Immunocompetent patients with pneumococcal CAP had an odds ratio of 16.5 (95% CI 3.0-90.9,
conclusionsIn immunocompetent patients hospitalized with pneumococcal CAP, nausea may be a predictor of bacteremia. Bacteremic pneumococcal CAP patients display an increased inflammatory response compared to non-bacteremic pneumococcal CAP patients.
