Prudent Use of Blood Cultures for Hospitalized Patients With Cirrhosis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background No reliable risk stratification method is available to guide the extent of infectious work-up among hospitalized patients with cirrhosis. Therefore, we aimed to create a risk stratification method for obtaining blood cultures from hospitalized patients with cirrhosis. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project - National Readmission Database 2019. Adult patients who were not immunocompromised comprised the final cohort. The primary outcome was the incidence of bacteremia among hospitalized patients with cirrhosis. Secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay, inpatient mortality, and 30-day readmission rate among cirrhosis patients with and without bacteremia. After propensity score matching, the
