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

backgroundTigecycline is widely used in China to treat multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, with hypofibrinogenemia being the most common adverse effect due to its impact on coagulation. Although a predictive model for tigecycline-induced hypofibrinogenemia has been developed, it lacks external validation. This study aims to construct a predictive model for the risk of tigecycline-induced hypofibrinogenemia in sepsis patients.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed data from sepsis patients treated with tigecycline in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the People's Hospital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region between January 2018 and June 2024. Risk factors for tigecycline-induced hypofibrinogenemia were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. A nomogram prediction model was developed and externally validated using the MIMIC-IV database.

resultsA total of 465 patients participated, with 411 in the training set and 54 in the external validation set. Independent risk factors for hypofibrinogenemia included age (OR: 1.02, p = 0.009), duration of tigecycline treatment (OR: 1.33, p < 0.001), baseline fibrinogen level (OR: 0.65, p < 0.001), baseline platelet count (OR: 0.99, p = 0.025), and the presence of tumors (OR: 2.17, p = 0.021). The model demonstrated an AUC of 0.85 (95% CI: 0.81-0.89) in the training cohort and 0.83 (95% CI: 0.71-0.95) in the validation cohort. Calibration curves for both cohorts showed strong agreement between predicted and observed hypofibrinogenemia. Decision curve analysis (DCA) indicated good clinical applicability of the model.

conclusionThe developed predictive model effectively predicts the risk of tigecycline-induced hypofibrinogenemia in sepsis patients, providing valuable information for clinical decision-making.
