Clinical characteristics and outcomes of cancer patients requiring intensive care unit admission: a prospective study.
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
purposeThe study was aimed to describe the characteristics of cancer patients admitted to the oncological ICU and to identify clinical features associated with outcomes.
methodsThis is a prospective study (January 2014 to December 2015) of 522 cancer patients consecutively admitted to the oncological ICU. Patients with a length of oncological ICU stay ≤ 1 day were excluded. Demographic and clinical variables were obtained at oncological ICU admission. The primary outcome of interest was hospital mortality. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for hospital mortality.
resultsThe study cohort consisted of 492 (94.3%) patients with solid tumours and 30 patients (5.7%) with haematological malignancies. Advanced cancer was observed in 53.3%. Unplanned admission accounted for 25.3%. Hospital mortality rate was 13.0% (n = 68), and it was higher for patients with unplanned admission than those for electively admitted patients (35.6% vs. 5.4; p < 0.0001). Stage IV of cancer (OR 5.28; 95% CI 2.71-10.28; p < 0.0001), patients from the emergency department (OR 3.33; 95% CI 1.68-6.61; p = 0.001), unplanned admission (OR 7.99; 95% CI 4.45-14.33; p < 0.0001), non-malignancy-related admission (OR 5.80; 95% CI 3.26-10.32; p < 0.0001), sepsis (OR 4.81; 95% CI 2.28-10.16; p < 0.0001), chemotherapy-induced adverse event (OR 5.64; 95% CI 2.33-13.66; p < 0.0001), and invasive mechanical ventilation (OR 18.70; 95% CI 9.93-35.21; p < 0.0001) were independently associated with increased hospital mortality in multivariate logistic regression analysis.
conclusionsICU admission of cancer patients should be based on potential chance of recovering from the acute problem. Clinical predictor for mortality could support this purpose (UIN: researchregistry3484).
