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: Predominantly antibody deficiency (PAD) is the most common inborn error of immunity and is associated with increased susceptibility to infections and noninfectious complications, yet we lack population-level data on the impact of this diagnosis on hospitalization outcomes. Objective: We conducted a nationwide analysis evaluating health care utilization and hospitalization outcomes among patients with PAD compared with non-PAD hospitalized patients, examining temporal trends and the impact of coronavirus disease 2019. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis from 2017 to 2020 using the National Inpatient Sample, part of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. ICD-10 codes were used to identify PAD-associated admissions. Results: We identified 179,710 weighted PAD-associated and 108,933,035 non-PAD-associated hospitalizations. Compared with non-PAD admissions, PAD hospitalizations had higher total hospital costs ($13,961 vs $9,436), longer length of stay (5.0 vs 3.5 days), and higher in-hospital mortality (4.1% vs 2.7%; all Conclusions: Patients with PAD had increased health care utilization and worse outcomes including in-hospital mortality. These burdens worsened over time, with the greatest escalation in 2020, partly reflecting coronavirus disease 2019-related hospitalizations. Further investigation is needed to identify underlying drivers and develop targeted strategies to improve outcomes in patients with PAD.
