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

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the risk factors and construct the diagnostic model associated with pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in pediatric patients. Methods: This retrospective observational study analyzed 34 cases of PCP and 51 cases of other types of pneumonia treated at Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University between January 2021 and August 2023. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors associated with PCP. Receiver operating characteristic curves and calibration plots were constructed to evaluate the diagnostic model. Results: Twenty clinical variables significantly differed between the PCP and non-PCP groups. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis revealed that dyspnea, body temperature>36.5°C, and age<1.46 years old were risk factors for PCP. The area under the curve of the diagnostic model was 0.958, the Conclusions: Dyspnea, body temperature>36.5°C, and age<1.46 years old were found to be independent risk factors for PCP in pediatric patients. The probability of co-infection with cytomegalovirus and
