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

objectivesTo evaluate the outcomes of cirrhotic patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) following cardiac arrest.

methodsThis was a single centre retrospective study of all the cirrhotic patients, admitted to the ICU at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, after a successful cardiac arrest resuscitation, from 1999 to 2017. The characteristics of the hospital survivors and non-survivors were compared.

resultsA total of 76 patients were admitted to the ICU during the study period, with a median age of 64 years. In addition to cirrhosis, the patients had other chronic comorbidities, including chronic renal disease (32.9%) and diabetes (47%). Of this group, 67 (88.2%) died in the hospital, and 54 (71%) died while in ICU. Compared to the group who survived, all non-survivors required mechanical ventilation and had a higher median APACHE II score of 38 (

conclusionCirrhotic patients admitted to the ICU following cardiac arrest have high mortality. Patients with higher APACHE II scores, higher bilirubin and lower GCS have higher risk of in-hospital mortality.
