Factors influencing bloodstream infections after immunosuppressive therapy in patients with aplastic anemia: a logistic regression analysis.
Article in American journal of translational research, 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
objectiveTo analyze the risk factors for bloodstream infection after immunosuppressive therapy in patients with aplastic anemia using logistic regression.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data from 70 patients with aplastic anemia admitted to the People's Hospital of Zitong County and the Infectious Disease Hospital in Jiangyou City from March 2011 to March 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they developed an infection after treatment: the infection group (n = 18) and the non-infection group (n = 52). Risk factors for bloodstream infection following immunosuppressive therapy were analyzed, and the predictive value of independent risk factors was assessed.
resultsUnivariate analysis identified age, diabetes, disease severity, albumin levels, neutrophil count, and concurrent infections before treatment as significant risk factors for bloodstream infection following immunosuppressive therapy (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis further confirmed that age, diabetes, disease severity, albumin levels, and neutrophil count were independent risk factors for bloodstream infection (all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis revealed that age, diabetes, disease severity, albumin levels, and neutrophil count had area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.678, 0.728, 0.698, 0.740, and 0.739, respectively, in predicting bloodstream infection after immunosuppressive therapy. The sensitivity values were 65.39%, 78.85%, 67.31%, 67.31%, and 76.92%, respectively, while the specificity values were 72.22%, 66.67%, 72.22%, 77.78%, and 61.11%, respectively.
conclusionAge, diabetes, disease severity, albumin levels, and neutrophil count are key factors influencing bloodstream infection after immunosuppressive therapy in patients with aplastic anemia. These findings highlight the need for careful monitoring of these factors during immunosuppressive therapy to reduce the risk of bloodstream infection.
