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

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is frequently administered to patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), particularly those with severe manifestations, although its efficacy remains controversial. The study retrospectively analyzed the effects of IVIG administration on SFTS patients in both mild and severe groups. The primary outcome measure was 28-day mortality. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) with propensity score was used to account for baseline confounders. A total of SFTS patients with complete data enrolled from January 1, 2015, to August 1, 2023. Death at 28 days occurred for 68 (17.5%) patients. By unadjusted analysis, no difference was observed for 28-day mortality between the IVIG and non-IVIG groups in both the mild and severe groups. Similar results were found by propensity score matching and by IPTW analysis. Although IVIG is frequently used as adjuvant therapy for severe SFTS patients, no significant association was observed between IVIG treatment and reduced mortality in this patient population.
