1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionLimited information exists about the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the outcome of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

objectiveTo evaluate the hospital mortality of patients with ARDS in relation to BMI. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted a retrospective, multicenter study including patients with ARDS. ARDS was defined according to the Berlin criteria. Body weight and height were obtained to calculate BMI. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were intensive care unit (ICU) mortality, invasive positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) free days within 28 days and length of stays in the ICU and hospital.

resultsAmong 523 patients, 28 (5%) were underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m

conclusionsObesity is associated with lower mortality in patients with ARDS. With the increase of BMI, the mortality of ARDS drops gradually.
