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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveUrine output (UO) is routinely measured in the intensive care unit (ICU) but its prognostic value remains debated. The study aimed to investigate the association between day 1 UO and hospital mortality.

methodsClinical data were abstracted from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care II (version 2.6) database. UO was recorded for the first 24 h after ICU entry, and was classified into three categories: UO >0.5, 0.3-0.5 and ≤0.3 ml/kg per hour. The primary endpoint was the hospital mortality. Four models were built to adjust for the hazards ratio of mortality.

resultsA total of 21,207 unselected ICU patients including 2,401 non-survivors and 18,806 survivors were included (mortality rate 11.3 %). Mortality rate increased progressively across UO categories: >0.5 (7.67 %), 0.3-0.5 (11.27 %) and ≤0.3 ml/kg/h (18.29 %), and this relationship remained statistically significant after rigorous control of confounding factors with the Cox proportional hazards regression model. With UO >0.5 as the referent group, the hazards ratios for UO 0.3-0.5 and UO ≤0.3 were 1.41 (95 % CI 1.29-1.54) and 1.52 (95 % CI 1.38-1.67), respectively.

conclusionUO obtained on ICU entry is an independent predictor of mortality irrespective of diuretic use. It would be interesting to examine whether strategies to increase UO would improve clinical outcome.
