Impact of Nosocomial Infection on in-Hospital Mortality Rate in Adult Patients Under Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation After Cardiac Surgery.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objective: There was no consensus on the impact of nosocomial infection on In-hospital mortality rate in patients receiving ECMO. This study aimed to investigate the impact of nosocomial infection (NI) on In-hospital mortality rate in adult patients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) after cardiac surgery. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 503 adult patients who underwent VA-ECMO after cardiac surgery. The impact of time-dependent NIs on In-hospital mortality rate within 28 days of ECMO initiation was investigated using a Cox regression model. The cumulative incidence function for death was compared between patients with NIs and those without NIs using a competing risk model. Results: Within 28 days after ECMO initiation, 206 (41.0%) patients developed NIs, and 220 (43.7%) patients died. The prevalence rates of NIs were 27.8% and 20.3% during and after ECMO therapy, respectively. The incidence rates of NIs during and after ECMO therapy were 49‰ and 25‰, respectively. Time-dependent NI was an independent risk factor for predicting death (hazard ratio = 1.05, 95% confidence interval = 1.00-1.11). The cumulative incidence of death in patients with NI was significantly higher than that in patients without NI at each time point within 28 days of ECMO initiation. (Z = 5.816, P = 0.0159). Conclusion: NI was a common complication in adult patients who received VA-ECMO after cardiac surgery, and time-dependent NI was an independent risk factor for predicting mortality in these patients. Using a competing risk model, we confirmed that NIs increased the risk of In-hospital mortality rate in these patients.
