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 and objectives: Growing evidence suggests that bacterial infectious diseases contribute substantially to morbidity and mortality among individuals with malignant neoplasms. However, data regarding mortality related to the co-occurrence of malignant neoplasms and other bacterial diseases is limited. This study analyzes the national mortality trends for the co-occurrence of malignant neoplasms and other bacterial diseases in the United States from 1999 to 2023. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research mortality data for individuals aged 15+ to calculate age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 100 000 and annual percent change (APC) using joinpoint regression, stratified by year, sex, age, race/ethnicity, urbanization, and geographic regions. Results: From 1999 to 2023, 726 510 deaths were recorded involving malignant neoplasms co-occurring with bacterial diseases. The AAMR slightly declined from 8.14 in 1999 to 7.63 in 2012, followed by a rise to 10.02 in 2023 with an APC of 2.51 (95% confidence interval: 2.14-2.89, Conclusion: Despite improvements, mortality from bacterial diseases and malignant neoplasms has increased, particularly affecting older adults, men, racial minorities, and the western region, requiring targeted interventions to reduce disease burden in vulnerable communities.
