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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the levels of coagulation parameters in elderly patients with severe pneumonia and analyse their correlation with disease severity and prognosis. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 207 elderly patients (aged ≥60 years) with severe pneumonia admitted to our hospital between January 2022 and December 2023. Demographic data, clinical characteristics and coagulation parameters, including prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time and fibrinogen (FIB), were collected. Patients were divided into survivor and non-survivor groups based on 28-day mortality. The differences in coagulation parameters between groups and their correlation with disease severity and prognosis were analysed. Results: The 28-day mortality rate was 52.2%. Non-survivors had significantly higher PT, APTT and D-dimer levels and lower FIB levels than survivors ( Conclusion: Coagulation dysfunction is common in elderly patients with severe pneumonia. Prothrombin time and D-dimer levels are closely associated with disease severity and can be valuable indicators for predicting prognosis in this population.
