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

Rapid intensive observation (RIO) units have been created to guarantee high standards of care in a sustainable health-care system. Within short stay units (SSUs), which are a subgroup of RIOs, only rapidly manageable patients should be admitted. Physicians are unable to predict the length of stay (LOS) as objective criteria to make such a prediction are missing. A retrospective observational study was carried out to identify the objective criteria for admission within a cardiovascular care-oriented SSU. Over a period of 317 days, 340 patients (age 69.4 ± 14.7 years) were admitted to a pilot SSU within our internal medicine department. The most frequent diagnoses were chest pain (45.9%), syncope (12.9%), and supraventricular arrhythmias (11.2%). The median LOS was 4 days (quartile 1:3; quartile 3:7). Predictors of LOS ≤ 96 h were age < 80, hemoglobin > 115 g/L, estimated glomerular filtration rate > 45 mL/min/1.73 m
