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

objectiveWe aimed to evaluate the effects of hemodynamic monitoring using the pulse index continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) system with critically ill patients.

methodsIn total, 292 patients with primary physiological abnormalities of hypotension (n = 180) or hypoxemia (n = 112) were evaluated. The attending physicians completed a questionnaire before each catheterization. After each catheterization, the attending physicians reviewed each chart to determine the possibility of altering the therapy.

resultsIn the hypotension subgroup, the attending physicians showed less accuracy in predicting the global end-diastolic index values (23.9%, 43/180), with a significant difference, and more accuracy in predicting the extravascular lung water index values (58.9%, 66/112), without a significant difference from the patients in the hypoxemia subgroup. In the hypotension patients, the lactate clearance rate within 6 h was significantly higher (36.4 ± 9.6 vs 21.3 ± 9.5;

conclusionsThe hemodynamic variables obtained using the PiCCO system improved the accuracy of the bedside evaluations and led to alterations in the therapeutic plans, particularly among the hypotension patients. The therapy changes showed no improvement in the overall mortality but were associated with improved tissue perfusion among the hypotension patients.
