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 aim of our study was to investigate the epidemiology and risk factors of Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients with KP infections who were admitted to Chaohu Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2023 to December 2023. We compared demographics, clinical characteristics, treatments, and outcomes across these groups and examined the impact of ESBL-KP, CRKP and non-MDR-KP on cumulative survival rates in populations with different immune states by plotting Kaplan-Meier curves. Results: Our study included 228 immunocompromised patients and 200 immunocompetent patients. Compared to the immunocompetent group, immunocompromised patients were more likely to have a history of surgery and to use hormone frequently. They tended to rely more on medical devices, including urinary catheters, nasogastric catheters, arterial catheters, venous catheters, mechanical ventilation and endoscopy. Immunocompromised patients had a poorer recovery and were rehospitalized more often than those in immunocompetent patients. In the multivariable analysis, age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (aCCI) (OR: 1.292, 95%CI: 1.086-1.537, Conclusion: The clinical characteristics, treatment process and prognosis in immunocompromised patients with KP infections are significantly different from those in immunocompetent patients. In clinical settings, the standardization of invasive procedures and the rational use of antibiotics represent the most effective strategies for preventing and treating KP infection.
