Impact of obesity on outcomes in patients with acute respiratory syndrome.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesWe assessed the relationship between obesity and all-cause mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, patient data were extracted from the eICU Collaborative Research Database and the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care Database III. Body mass index (BMI) was grouped according to World Health Organization classifications: underweight, normal weight, overweight, obese. Cox regression models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of all-cause mortality related to obesity.
resultsParticipants included 185 women and 233 men, mean age 70.7 ± 44.1 years and mean BMI 28.7 ± 8.1 kg/m
conclusionsObesity was associated with increased all-cause mortality in patients with ARDS.
