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

objectiveIn this study, we investigated the association between comorbid sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS) and the prognosis of patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) to determine whether this relationship varies between different disease subgroups.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study using publicly available information from the critical care database Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III. Adults (≥18 years of age) who attended the ICU for the first time were enrolled. Demographic information and clinical data were obtained from each patient. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality after ICU admission, and the secondary outcomes were in-hospital and ICU mortality. Multivariate logistic regression and Cox regression analyses were used to examine the associations between SAHS comorbidities and the research outcomes. Propensity score matching was used to adjust for potential confounding variables.

resultsOf the 32 989 patients enrolled, 1918 (5.81%) were diagnosed with SAHS as a comorbid condition. Patients with SAHS had a significantly lower 30-day mortality rate compared with those without SAHS (5.27% vs 13.65%, respectively; p<0.001). The frequency of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cerebral disease, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and renal failure was significantly different between the two groups. Patients with SAHS demonstrated significantly longer survival compared with patients without SAHS. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression identified a significant relationship between SAHS and mortality within 30 days (adjusted HR=0.610, 95% CI 0.499 to 0.747, p<0.0001).

conclusionSAHS as a comorbid condition decreases the risk of 30-day mortality, in-hospital mortality and ICU mortality among ICU patients.
