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: To investigate the prognostic value of chest computed tomography (CT), platelet count (PLT), serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level, and oxygenation index (OI) in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data collected from 226 patients with CAP who received treatment in Huzhou Central Hospital from February 2022 to November 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on pneumonia severity: Severe group (patients with severe CAP, n=113) and Typical group (patients with typical pneumonia, n=113). Differences in CT score, PLT, CRP, and OI levels between the two groups were analyzed, as well as the prognostic value of the combined CT score, PLT, CRP, and OI levels in severe CAP. Results: The CT Score and CRP level in the Severe group were significantly higher than those in the Typical group, whereas PLT and OI were significantly lower ( Conclusions: The combined chest CT, PLT, CRP, and OI have high prognostic value for severe CAP.
