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

Purpose: Patients and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted from 2018 to 2022 at a center in northern Taiwan, involving patients with Results: The 14-day and 28-day mortality rates after admission were 35% and 40%, respectively. The 14-day mortality rate was associated with high Pitt bacteremia scores, chronic kidney disease, anemia, and hyperbilirubinemia. Anemia and high Pitt bacteremia scores were consistently associated with 28-day mortality. Most isolates were phenotypically resistant to β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, while susceptibility to minocycline (1.6%) and rifampin (9.5%) was preserved. The detected resistance genes included multiple determinants ( Conclusion:
