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: Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 458 hospitalized patients with confirmed Results: Overall in-hospital mortality was 11.8% (54/458). Compared with survivors, non-survivors were older, had a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and more frequently presented with severe clinical features, including septic shock, mechanical ventilation, central venous catheterization, and elevated inflammatory markers. In the multivariable model, older age and higher CCI remained independently associated with mortality, whereas mechanical ventilation showed a strong but statistically non-significant association. Prior carbapenem exposure was common, but mortality was comparable between carbapenem-exposed and unexposed patients. The appropriateness of initial empirical antimicrobial therapy was not independently associated with survival after adjustment for baseline and severity-related factors. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed high Conclusions: In this cohort of patients with
