Risk of in-hospital mortality following emergency department admission: results from the geriatric EDEN cohort study.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveTo determine whether being admitted to emergency department (ED) for social disorders may predict a higher risk of in-hospital mortality among older inpatients.
designProspective cohort study (mean follow-up: 9.1±10.0 days).
settingAngers University Hospital, France.
participantsFour hundred twenty-two inpatients (mean age 84.9±5.6years, 64.2% women).
methodsAt their admission to ED, inpatients aged 75 years and over received an assessment composed of 6 items: age, gender, number of drugs daily taken, history of falls during the past 6 months, usual place of life, and use of formal and/or informal home and social services. The reasons for admission to ED as well the diagnosis at the time of hospital discharge were separated into social and health disorders. The length of hospital stay was calculated in number of days using the hospital registry. Inpatients were separated into 2 groups based on the occurrence or not of death during the hospital stay.
resultsOlder inpatients who died at hospital were more frequently institutionalized (P=0.034) and admitted to ED for social disorders (P=0.002) than those who did not. Multiple Cox regression model revealed that living in institution and social disorders as a reason for admission to ED were significantly associated with the occurrence of death at hospital (P=0.008 and P=0.036). Kaplan-Meier distributions of in-hospital mortality showed that home-living inpatients admitted to ED for social disorders died more and faster during hospitalization than those admitted for health disorders (P=0.016).
conclusionBeing admitted to ED for social disorders and living in institution predicted a higher risk of in-hospital mortality.
