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

Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) significantly increases the mortality rate among hemodialysis patients. This study aims to analyze the prevalence of CRBSI and its risk factors in hemodialysis patients, providing actionable recommendations using Gansu Province as a case study. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 540 hemodialysis patients with central venous catheters, selected from 28 hospitals across seven cities in Gansu Province. Patients were divided into an infected group (90 cases) and a non-infected group (450 cases). Data collected included clinical characteristics, infection rates, pathogens, and their antibiotic sensitivity. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for CRBSI. The CRBSI incidence rate was 16.67%. Gram-positive bacteria predominated among isolated pathogens (59.02%), with Staphylococcus aureus (31.15%) being the most common. Logistic regression identified hospital level, diabetic nephropathy as the primary disease, anemia, hypoproteinemia, and elevated serum ferritin as significant risk factors. CRBSI incidence in Gansu’s hemodialysis patients is high, with Gram-positive bacteria as the dominant pathogens. Key risk factors include hospital level, diabetic nephropathy, anemia, hypoproteinemia, and elevated serum ferritin. Targeted interventions are necessary to reduce CRBSI occurrence.
