Survival analysis of mechanically ventilated patients in the burn unit at king abdulaziz medical city in Riyadh 2016-2019.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundBurn injuries are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. For patients with extensive burn injuries, mechanical ventilation (MV) is a critical management modality. However, limited data are available regarding the outcome of burn patients receiving mechanical ventilation. This study aimed to determine the outcome in terms of mortality and its associated risk factors in burn patients who required MV.
methodA retrospective review of all consecutive burn patients, admitted to the Burn Unit and requiring mechanical ventilation at King Abdulaziz Medical City and King Abdullah Specialist Children Hospital in Riyadh, from 2016 to 2019. For each patient, demographic, clinical, and outcome variables were collected. The length of stay was calculated from the date of initiation of MV after admission into the earliest discharge date or death date. The overall mortality rate during the period of the study was also calculated.
resultsA total of 356 patients have been admitted to the Burn Unit during the study period. The median age was 18 years (IQR 4-35 years), and 67% were male. Flame burn (48%) was the most frequent type of burn, followed by scald burns (33%). Of the sample, 80 (20%) were placed on MV with a median length of stay of eight days. The APACHE-II severity score for patients who required MV was 16 (SD±6) and the mortality rate was 20%.
conclusionThis study reported the hospital outcomes of burn patients requiring MV. Resources should be planned to provide ultimate management plan for burn patients to reduce the mortality rate.
