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

Purpose: Immunocompromised hosts are underrepresented in clinical trials. The goal of the study to search for the unmet needs in the management of CAP in immunocompromised hosts. Patients and Methods: An observational study was conducted with CAP patients documented immunocompromise or those aged over 65 who have at least one chronic visceral disease. We clinically assessed the eligible patients at the time of the presentation with a follow-up assessment on day three of admission. The data were statistically analyzed to assess the impact of variables on mortality. Results: During a 15-month study period, 140 CAP patients were observed. The overall 30-day mortality rate was 17.8%. The mortality rate was significantly higher in patients with sputum cultures positive for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, or two bacteria ( Conclusion: Dynamic response assessment emerged as potentially the strongest predictor of outcomes in CAP of susceptible hosts. We propose that immunocompromised CAP patients who fail to respond early to treatment face extremely high rates of mortality, identifying an unmet need.
