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

Background and objective: The 2019 ATS/ADSA guidelines for adult community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) eliminated healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) and considered it to be a form of CAP. This concept, however, was based on studies with relatively small sample sizes. Methods: We investigated the risk factors of 30-day mortality, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Results: A total of 272,337 patients aged ≥20 years with pneumonia were grouped into 145,082 CAP patients and 127,255 HCAP patients. The 30-day mortality rate (8.9 % vs.3.3 %), MRSA infection (2.4 % vs. 1.4 %), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection (1.6 % vs. 1.0 %) were significantly higher in HCAP than in CAP patients. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that 12 of 13 identified predictors of mortality (i.e., high age, male, underweight, non-ambulatory status, bedsore, dehydration, respiratory failure, consciousness disturbance, hypotension, admitted in critical care, comorbidity of heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) were identical in CAP and HCAP patients. Similarly, five of six distinct risk factors for MRSA infection, and three of three for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection were identical between the patients. Conclusion: The risk factors for mortality and MRSA or
