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

This study aimed to assess the prognostic impact of plasma albumin (PA) and C-reactive protein (CRP), measured up to 30 days before a bloodstream infection (BSI), on 30-day mortality risk using nomogram models. Two cohorts comprising 5,221 inpatients from Singapore (SG) and 15,710 from Denmark (DK) with first-time BSIs were included from 2006 to 2016. Using multivariable logistic regression models, we analyzed the association between CRP and PA measured at different time-points (segmented into 5-day intervals, up to 30 days before the day of BSI (D0), and on D0) and 30-day mortality. Moreover, nomogram models assessed the relative attributions of PA and CRP to 30-day mortality risk. Both cohorts had similar 30-day mortality rates (SG: 17.4%, DK: 20.2%). Correlation coefficients between PA on D0 and PA in all 5-day intervals were high (range: 0.55/0.75) whereas it was only high between CRP on D0, and CRP measured 1-5 days before D0. In nomogram models, PA contributed most to the prognostic predictability (from 20 to 55%) whereas CRP contributed little (from 0.5 to 9%) regardless of time interval from D0. Albumin, measured up to 30 days before a BSI episode, was a strong prognosticator of 30-day mortality. Nomogram models enable rapid evaluation of a patient's prognosis.
