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

purposeStudies regarding death risk factors of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) patients were limited. Therefore, we conducted this study to investigate whether the serum anion gap (AG) was independently related to all-cause mortality of DIC patients.

methodsWe used the data from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III version 1.4 (MIMIC-III v1.4). A total of 2,654 DIC patients were included. The main outcomes were in-hospital, 30-day, and 90-day all-cause mortality. The AG was measured upon ICU admission and its association with mortality was evaluated using the Cox proportional-hazards regression model. The generalized additive model and the smooth curve fitting were introduced to examine the non-linear association.

resultsAfter adjusting for potential covariates, the in-hospital, 30-day, and 90-day all-cause mortality were positively correlated with AG. The hazard ratio (HR), confidence intervals (CI), and

conclusionSerum AG is positively related with all-cause mortality in DIC patients.
