Prognostic Factors of In-hospital Mortality in Patients without Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection with Pneumocystis Pneumonia: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Objective This study explored the prognostic factors of in-hospital mortality in patients with Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, using a Japanese nationwide inpatient database. Methods We extracted the data of patients with PCP without HIV infection between July 2010 and March 2022 from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database. We performed multivariable logistic regression analyses to identify the prognostic factors of in-hospital mortality in with PCP without HIV infection. Results We identified 1,704 patients with PCP without HIV infection and 404 (23.7%) in-hospital deaths. Higher in-hospital mortality was associated with advanced age, male sex [odds ratio (OR), 1.45; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06-2.00], a low Barthel index score, non-hematological malignancy (OR, 1.81; 95% CI, 1.22-2.70), receipt of mechanical ventilation (OR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.47-4.21), and administration of antibiotics (OR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.12-2.06) and antifungal drugs (OR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.26-2.67). Lower in-hospital mortality was associated with connective tissue disease and vasculitis (OR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.37-0.81), hematological malignancy (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.38-0.93), and early trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole treatment (OR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.44-0.90). Conclusion These findings will help physicians identify patients who may benefit from early aggressive therapeutic interventions.
