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

backgroundSalmonella typhimurium infection is a considerable global health concern, particularly in children, where it often leads to persistent diarrhea. This condition can result in severe health complications including malnutrition and cognitive impairment.

methodsA comprehensive retrospective study was conducted involving 627 children diagnosed with Salmonella typhimurium enteritis. These children were hospitalized for Salmonella typhimurium enteritis between January 2010 and December 2022 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. Propensity score matching was used to explore the potential risk factors and predictors of persistent diarrhea following S. typhimurium infection.

resultsThe study identified body temperature, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, white blood cell count, and lactose intolerance were significant predictors of persistent diarrhea. Nomogram models developed based on these predictors demonstrated robust performance in predicting persistent diarrhea risk, with an accuracy of > 90%.

conclusionThe developed nomogram models provide a practical tool for the early identification of children at high risk of persistent diarrhea, facilitating intervention, potentially preventing serious sequelae, and improving the prognosis of children with S. typhimurium enteritis.
