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

backgroundThe relationship between obesity and the outcomes of critically ill diabetic patients is not completely clear. We aimed to assess the effects of obesity and overweight on the outcomes among diabetic patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).

methodsCritically ill diabetic patients in the ICU were classified into three groups according to their body mass index. The primary outcomes were 30-day and 90-day mortality. ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS) and incidence and duration of mechanical ventilation were also assessed. Cox regression models were developed to evaluate the relationship between obesity and overweight and mortality.

resultsA total of 6108 eligible patients were included. The 30-day and 90-day mortality in the normal weight group were approximately 1.8 times and 1.5 times higher than in the obesity group and overweight group, respectively (

conclusionsObesity and overweight were independently associated with greater survival in critically ill diabetic patients, without increasing the ICU and hospital LOS. Large multicenter prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings and the underlying mechanisms warrant further investigation.
