Patients' perceptions and ICU clinicians predictions of quality of life following critical illness.
Article in Journal of critical care, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeTo determine how patients perceive their quality of life (QOL) six months following critical illness and to measure clinicians' discriminative accuracy of predicting this outcome. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective cohort study of intensive care unit (ICU) survivors asked patients to report their QOL strictly at six months compared to one month before their critical illness as better, the same, or worse. ICU physicians and nurses made six-month QOL predictions for these patients.
resultsOf 162 critical illness survivors, 33% (n = 53) of patients reported six-month QOL as better, 33% (n = 54) the same, and 34% (n = 55) worse. Abnormal cognition and inability to return to primary pastime or original place of residence (p < .05 for all) were associated with worse self-reported QOL at six months in multivariable regression. Predictions of patient perceptions of QOL at six months were pessimistic and had low discriminative accuracy for both physicians (sensitivity 56%, specificity 53%) and nurses (sensitivity 49%, specificity 57%).
conclusionsAmong survivors of critical illness, one-third each reported their six-month post-ICU QOL as better, the same, or worse. Self-reported six-month QOL was associated with six-month function. ICU clinicians should use caution in predicting self-reported QOL, as discriminative accuracy was poor in this cohort.
