Clinical Profile and Predictors of Mortality among Patients with Melioidosis.
Article in Journal of global infectious diseases. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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: Melioidosis is an under-recognized but important infection with high mortality and morbidity. It is endemic along the coastal regions of the Southern part of India. The present study focuses on the varied clinical manifestations, associated risk factors, and outcomes in patients from the Southeastern part of India. Methods: Seventy patients from January 2018 to June 2021 from a Tertiary Care Hospital were included and prospectively followed up from 6 months to 3 years. Cox regression was performed to test for the association of various clinical and demographic factors with overall survival. Results: Diabetes and occupational exposure to soil and water (78.6%) followed by alcoholism (61.4%) were the most common risk factors for melioidosis. The most frequent presentation was sepsis (47.1%), followed by skin and soft tissue infection (32.9%) and pneumonia (25.7%). Mortality was 50%. Patients with sepsis had a 3.5-fold higher risk of mortality (adjusted hazard ratio = 3.50; Conclusion: Lifestyle-dependent risk factors (diabetes, occupational exposure, and alcoholism) were most common among patients with melioidosis. Hospitalization among patients with sepsis is associated with high mortality despite the initiation of specific therapy.
