Risk factors associated with infection-related mortality of Bacillus cereus bacteremia in hematologic disorders.
Article in International journal of hematology, 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
The mortality risk factors in B. cereus bacteremia in hematologic disorders are still unknown. In this study, patients with B. cereus bacteremia in hematologic disorders were selected in St. lukes international hospital and from electronic databases. A total of 176 patients [median age, 41 years (3-88 years); 99 (56%) males] were included. Of these patients, 141 (80%) had acute leukemia, and 93 (53%) died. Univariate analysis showed that neutropenia, CNS, gastrointestinal, and respiratory infections/symptoms were significantly associated with infection-related death. Meanwhile, glycopeptide use and management with source control were protective factors. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that infection-related death was significantly associated with CNS [odds ratio (OR): 3.49, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.25-9.80], gastrointestinal (OR: 5.22, 95% CI 1.82-8.99), and respiratory infections/symptoms (OR: 8.98, 95% CI 1.62-49.9), as well as glycopeptide use (OR: 0.10, 95% CI 0.03-0.31) and source control (OR: 0.11, 95% CI 0.03-0.37). In conclusion, early glycopeptide administration and source control should be performed upon detection of infections suspicious for B. cereus.
