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

backgroundDisseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a devastating disease of the coagulation system. We examined the association between ABO blood type and short-term mortality in patients with infection-associated DIC.

methodsThe study cohort was drawn from the Danish Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DANDIC) cohort. Our subcohort was restricted to patients with infection-associated DIC. All-cause 30-day and 90-day mortality were computed by Kaplan-Meier estimates and odds ratios between ABO blood types were examined using logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, comorbidity, and location of infection. Blood type O was used as a reference.

resultsThe DANDIC cohort included 3023 patients with DIC. Among these, 1853 (61%) had infection-associated DIC. Data on ABO blood type were unavailable in 34 patients (1.8%), who were excluded. The median age was 68 years and 58.2% were males. The 30-day mortality ranged between 38.6% and 42.5% and the 30-day mortality odds ratios were 1.15 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.92-1.42) for blood type A; 0.84 (95% CI, 0.49-1.43) for AB; and 0.95 (95% CI, 0.67-1.33) for B compared to blood type O.

conclusionsWe found no clinically meaningful difference in short-term mortality between the various ABO blood types in patients with infection-associated DIC.
