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

Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is prevalent in the neuro-intensive care unit (NICU), significantly increasing susceptibility to infections with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), which result in high mortality rates and substantial healthcare burdens. Recognition and intervention are paramount. This study aimed to build a prediction model for MDRO infections among NICU patients with HAP. Clinical and laboratory data were collected from the NICU of a grade-A tertiary hospital. Five machine learning models (logistic regression, classification tree, support vector machine, random forest, and K-nearest neighbor) were evaluated based on sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and receiver operating characteristic curves. A nomogram was developed using the model that performed best in MDRO infection prediction. The performance and clinical utility were assessed using the calibration curve, Brier score, and decision curve analysis. Among 791 neurocritical care patients with HAP, 172 (21.7%) were diagnosed with MDRO infections. The prediction model established by logistic regression exhibited the best performance, with an area under the curve of 0.805. Length of NICU stay (odds ratio [OR] 1.078; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.070-1.141;
