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

objectiveThe objective of this study was to test the association between the partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide and survival to hospital discharge among mechanically ventilated patients diagnosed with sepsis in the emergency department.

designRetrospective cohort study of a single center trial registry.

settingAcademic medical center. PATIENTS: Mechanically ventilated emergency department patients. INCLUSION CRITERIA: age 18 years and older, diagnosed with sepsis in the emergency department, and mechanical ventilation initiated in the emergency department.

interventionsArterial blood gases obtained after initiation of mechanical ventilation were analyzed. The primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. We tested the association between partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide and survival using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for potential confounders. Sensitivity analyses, including propensity score matching were also performed. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

resultsSix hundred subjects were included, and 429 (72%) survived to hospital discharge. The median (interquartile range) partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide was 42 (34-53) mm Hg for the entire cohort and 44 (35-57) and 39 (31-45) mm Hg among survivors and nonsurvivors, respectively (p < 0.0001 Wilcox rank-sum test). On multivariable analysis, a 1 mm Hg rise in partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide was associated with a 3% increase in odds of survival (adjusted odds ratio, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.04) after adjusting for tidal volume and other potential confounders. These results remained significant on all sensitivity analyses.

conclusionIn this sample of mechanically ventilated sepsis patients, we found an association between increasing levels of partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide and survival to hospital discharge. These findings justify future studies to determine the optimal target partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide range for mechanically ventilated sepsis patients.
