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

objectiveTo construct a combined model based on the CT and clinical characteristics of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) with infection of Talaromyces marneffei (TM) and evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the combined model.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 225 patients with AIDS patients with pulmonary infection admitted to the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from February 2012 to October 2022. Based on the final microbiological test results, they were divided into a group infected with TM and a group not infected with TM. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted on the lung CT imaging and clinical characteristics of these 225 patients. A nomogram was used to construct a combined model, and a calibration plot was drawn to test the diagnostic efficacy of the combined model.

resultsMultivariate logistic regression analysis showed that fever, rash, elevated PLT, elevated Hb, CD4

conclusionThe combined model constructed in this study has certain clinical value for evaluating whether AIDS co-infection is caused by TM. CLINICAL TRIAL: Not applicable.
