Bloodstream infections in the elderly Japanese population: Current reality and countermeasures.
Article in Global health & medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We reviewed bloodstream infections in the elderly in Japan, referring to data recently reported from the National Center for Global Health and Medicine in Tokyo. We divided the locations of bloodstream infections into Hospital-onset (HO), healthcare-associated (HCA), and CA (community-acquired), as the elderly reside in different places. The study focused on the fact that the general condition and underlying diseases of the elderly differ by age group. And thus, we divided them into three groups: Pre-old (65-74 years), Old (75-89 years), and Super-old (≥ 90 years), and compared their characteristics of bloodstream infections. HO bacteremia was most common in the pre-old group. On the other hand, HCA bloodstream infections tended to increase as the population aged, and it was most prevalent in super-old group. According to the study results, early intervention through infectious diseases (ID) consultation may improve the prognosis of bloodstream infections even in the elderly. Since the rate of ID consultation is lower in the super-old group than in other groups, this group may be a significant target. In conclusion, a study of a cohort of elderly patients with bloodstream infections in Japan indicates that bloodstream infections in patients over 65 years is not uniform.
