1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: Methods: In this study, we retrospectively examined whether HBO therapy affects the prognosis following CD infections (CDI). This study included 92 inpatients diagnosed with CDI at our hospital between January 2013 and December 2022. Of these, 16 patients received HBO therapy. The indications for HBO therapy were stroke in five patients, ileus in four patients, cancer in two patients, acute peripheral circulatory disturbance in two patients, and others in three patients. The mean observation period was 5.4 years. Results: In the univariate analysis, there was no significant difference in severity, mortality, hospitalization, or overall survival between patients who did and did not receive HBO therapy. However, the HBO group had a significantly lower recurrence rate (0% vs. 22.4%, p=0.0363) and a shorter symptomatic period (6.2 vs. 13.6 days, p=0.0217). Conclusions: HBO may have beneficial effect on CDI by shortening the symptomatic period and preventing recurrence.
