The mortality rate among patients with acute upper GI bleeding (with/without EGD) at Aleppo University Hospital: A retrospective study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundacute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common medical condition that results in substantial morbidity, mortality, and medical care cost. The mortality rate for patients with acute upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is 5-10%, and it has not changed much since 1945, despite the development in medicines, endoscopy, intensive care units (ICU), and surgical management. We conduct this study to observe some of the factors that predict death in these patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe Study was conducted at the Internal Medicine Department, Digestive Division, Aleppo University Hospital, between July 2018 and June 2020. The study included all patients with acute upper GI bleeding who were admitted to the digestive division during the study period, or who were admitted by other departments requesting an upper GI endoscopy.
resultsThis study involved 234 patients, 137 males (58.55%), 97 females (41.45%).The patients' ages ranged between 17 and 81 years old, and the mean age value ± standard deviation was 57.15 ± 22.89 years old.The number of deaths reached 22, at a rate of 9.40%, 14 male deaths (10.22%), 8 female deaths (8.25%).
conclusionsin this study we found a moderate inverse relationship between the hemoglobin value at admission and the incidence of death; the lower the hemoglobin value at admission, the higher the probability of patient's death. Also, there is a very significant direct relationship between the number of blood units transfused and the incidence of death, noting that all patients who died had received blood transfusions. Finally, we found a moderate inverse relationship between the arterial blood pressure value at admission and the incidence of death.
