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: Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS) is an acute infectious disease with high mortality. This study aimed to develop a quantitative scoring system for grading SFTS severity using dynamic clinical data. Methods: A retrospective study included 547 confirmed SFTS patients from two hospitals. Clinical data were collected over a 14-day course (divided into four phases). Patients were grouped into survivors ( Results: Of 547 patients, 96 (17.55%) were non-survivors. Multivariate logistic regression identified six independent prognostic factors across phases: age, platelet (PLT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and creatinine (Cr) (days 5-7); age, red blood cell distribution width (RDW), Cr, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (days 8-10); Cr and LDH (days 11-14). A scoring system (0-11 points) was developed, stratifying patients into low (0-3), intermediate (4-7), and high (8-11) risk groups, with adverse outcome rates of 1.04, 22.92, and 76.04%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier curves showed significant prognostic differences (log-rank Conclusion: A dynamic SFTS severity scoring system was developed and validated. Internal and external validation confirmed its reliability and clinical utility, providing a simple, practical tool for timely assessment and early intervention.
