Risk factors and outcome of Hypernatremia amongst severe adult burn patients.
Article in Annals of burns and fire disasters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
A descriptive study was conducted on 135 adult severe burn patients treated at the Burn ICU, National Institute of Burns from 1/2017 to 12/2017. Hypernatremia was defined as increased plasma sodium ≥ 146 mmol/l. It was recorded in 24.4% of total patients with onset time of 8.3 ± 4.8 days, ranging from the 5th to 21st day postburn. Moderate and severe hypernatremia was recorded in 16 (54.5%) patients. Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that increased age, burn extent, mechanical ventilation and ventilation duration were independent predictive factors for the development of hypernatremia. Significantly higher mortality rate (59.5% vs. 40.5% respectively; p = .001) and longer duration of stay in the ICU (23.2 ± 15.4 days vs. 16.2 ± 11.6; p = .01) and in the hospital (74.4 ± 43.7 days vs. 37.9 ± 22.9; p = .002) were seen in the hypernatremia group compared to normonatremic patients. It is necessary to find further effective interventions for the prevention and treatment of this fatal complication among severe burn patients.
