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

Background: The length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay is an important index reflects the prognosis of severe pneumonia (SP) combined with respiratory failure (RF). Blood transfusion can alleviate tissue hypoxia in ICU patients, but blood transfusion can affect the prognosis of patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of immune-nutritional indices (pan-immune inflammation value (PIV), systemic immune inflammation index (SII), system inflammation response index (SIRI), neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NAR), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI)) on length of stay in patients treated with and without transfusion. Methods: Total of 3425 pneumonia combined with respiratory failure patients were retrospectively analyzed. Medical records (age, gender, body mass index, history of smoking, history of alcohol drinking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, lung diseases, invasive mechanical ventilation, blood transfusion, APACHE II score, and laboratory test results) were collected, the relationship between this information and prolonged ICU stay was analyzed. Results: The average length of ICU stay was 5.32 (2.94, 9.36) days, there were 2521 (73.6%) patients with non-prolonged ICU stay (<9 days) and 904 (26.4%) with prolonged ICU stay (≥9 days). The levels of PIV, SII, and SIRI in prolonged ICU stay patients were higher than those of non-prolonged ICU stay in patients with and without blood transfusion, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high SII (odds ratio (OR): 2.115, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.428-3.131, Conclusion: High SII level and invasive mechanical ventilation were independently associated with prolonged ICU stay in patients treated with blood transfusion; and low PNI level and invasive mechanical ventilation were independently associated with prolonged ICU stay in patients without blood transfusion.
