Shock Index as a Predictor of Post-Intubation Hypotension and Cardiac Arrest; A Review of the Current Evidence.
Review in Bulletin of emergency and trauma, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Endotracheal intubation is a lifesaving procedure that is performed in various settings within the hospital or even in the pre-hospital field. However, it can result in serious hemodynamic complications, such as post-intubation hypotension (PIH) and cardiac arrest. The most promising predictor of such complications is the shock index (SI), which holds great prognostic value for multiple disorders. On the other hand, most of the studies that have assessed the predictability of the pre-intubation SI have been small and were limited to a particular setting of a single center; thus, the results were not generalizable, and the predictive value vary according to the setting. This review comprehensively assessed the utility of the pre-intubation SI for predicting PIH and post-intubation cardiac arrest by classifying and comparing evidence compiled from various settings, such as pre-hospital settings, emergency departments (EDs), intensive care units (ICUs), and operating rooms (ORs). The vast majority of these studies, conducted in ED and ICU settings, which revealed a significant correlation between an elevated SI and PIH or post-intubation cardiac arrest. The reliability and simplicity of obtaining a pre-intubation SI value are important considerations that encourage the extension of its use to all in-hospital intubations. Further studies are required to assess the predictive value of the SI in the pre-hospital setting.
