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

Talaromycosis marneffei (T.M) is the primary opportunistic infection of AIDS patients, and its morbidity and mortality are extremely high. To further clarify the disease characteristics of patients and provide a solid basis for in-depth exploration of their pathogenic mechanisms, we retrospectively summarized and analyzed their clinical data. We included all T.M patients tested for direct antiglobulin test (DAT) in the study. Interestingly, we found that AIDS-T.M patients had an extremely high rate of DAT positivity (92/127, 72.44%). In univariate analysis, a positive DAT was associated with blood culture of TM (P = .021), hypoproteinemia (P = .001), anemia (P = .001), thrombocytopenia (P = .003), sepsis (P = .007), and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) (P = .001). Hypoproteinemia, anemia, SOFA, APTT > 32.6 s, and AST > 40 U/l were studied by logistic regression. Logistic regression revealed that SOFA (OR = 1.311, P = .043), hypoproteinemia (OR = 0.308, P = .021), and anemia (OR = 0.19, P = .044) were associated with positive DAT. Positive DAT was associated with severe disease manifestations such as sepsis, and the DAT test is crucial in patients with fungemia.
