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

backgroundHyperlactatemia may be caused by increased production due to tissue hypoxia or non-hypoxia. The aim of this study was first to identify risk factors for postoperative hyperlactatemia (POHL) after Stanford type A acute aortic dissection surgery (AADS) and construct a predictive model, and second to evaluate the impact of POHL on prognosis.

methodsThis retrospective study involved patients undergoing AADS from January 2016 to December 2019 in Wuhan Union Hospital. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for POHL. A nomogram predicting POHL was established based on these factors and was validated in the original dataset. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to assess the ability of postoperative lactate levels to predict the in-hospital mortality.

resultsA total of 188 patients developed POHL after AADS (38.6%). Male gender, surgery history, red blood cell transfusion and cardiopulmonary bypass time were identified as independent predictors. The C-index of the prediction model for POHL was 0.72, indicating reasonable discrimination. The model was well calibrated by visual inspection and goodness-of-fit test (Hosmer-Lemeshow χ

conclusionWe developed and validated a prediction model for POHL in patients undergoing AADS, which may have clinical utility in personal risk evaluation and preventive interventions. The POHL could be a good predictor for in-hospital mortality.
