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: The impact of hypoalbuminemia on the short-term and long-term mortality of cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), both with and without renal function impairment, remains insufficiently elucidated based on population-based data. Materials and Methods: We retrieved data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Database encompassing 14,583 hospitalized patients diagnosed with both cirrhosis and SBP during the period from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2013. Prognostic factors influencing 30-day and 3-year survival were computed. Furthermore, the impact of hypoalbuminemia on the mortality rate among SBP patients, with or without concurrent renal function impairment, was also assessed. Results: The 30-day mortality rates for patients with SBP, comparing those with hypoalbuminemia and those without, were 18.3% and 29.4%, respectively ( Conclusion: Among cirrhotic patients with SBP, the presence of hypoalbuminemia predicts inferior short-term and long-term outcomes, regardless of renal function.
