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

objective

methodsWe conducted a retrospective observational study of 150 adult patients diagnosed with monomicrobial SAB between November 2023 and November 2024 at a tertiary care center. The predictive value of PBS, SOFA, NLR, and PLR for in-hospital mortality was assessed using ROC analysis and logistic regression.

resultsThe overall in-hospital mortality rate was 46%. PBS >4 and NLR >21 were independently associated with increased mortality (OR 11.72 and 6.36, respectively;

conclusionHigh PBS and NLR are strong and independent predictors of mortality in SAB. As this study was conducted in a high-risk cohort with a considerable proportion of critically ill and immunocompromised patients, the findings are particularly relevant to this vulnerable population. External validation in larger, multicenter cohorts is required to confirm their generalizability.
