Is the SIRS Criteria a Good Predictor of Blood stream Infection in Cirrhosis? A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis.
Article in American journal of medicine open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Cirrhosis-associated immune dysfunction (CAID) is a chronic vasodilatory state with hyperdynamic circulation and alterations in thermoregulation that may make patients more susceptible to and mask underlying infection. This study aims to determine whether SIRS criteria are an accurate tool for predicting bloodstream infection (BSI) in cirrhosis. Methods: In our retrospective chart review, study population included patients with cirrhosis that were 18 years or older. For all study patients, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores and values for each SIRS variable at the time of admission and blood culture data were recorded. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify any associations between dichotomized SIRS variables that fulfill SIRS positivity and BSI. Results: Significantly more patients without BSI met positivity criteria for WBC counts (30% vs 13% Conclusion: Our study shows that SIRS criteria are a poor predictor of BSI among patients with cirrhosis.
