Quality of life and mortality among survivors of acute respiratory distress syndrome in South Korea: a nationwide cohort study.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeWorsening quality of life (QOL) is an important health issue in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) survivors. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of worsening QOL among ARDS survivors and their association with mortality.
methodsSouth Korean National Health Insurance database information for all adults admitted to intensive care units for ARDS from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2018 who survived ≥ 365 days were included in this study.
resultsA total of 4452 ARDS survivors were included in the final analysis. Total QOL had worsened in 1667 (37.4%) of the survivors at the follow-up 1 year after being diagnosed with the syndrome. Specifically, 1298 patients (29.2%) experienced decreased income, 334 (7.5%) lost their jobs, and 327 (7.3%) had newly acquired disabilities. In the multivariable Cox regression analysis, worsening QOL was not associated with 2-year all-cause mortality among survivors (P = 0.140). However, newly acquired disability was associated with 1.74-fold (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.74, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.31-2.33; P < 0.001) higher 2-year all-cause mortality, while decreased income (P = 0.571) and unemployment (P = 0.952) were not associated with it. In addition, newly acquired respiratory disability was associated with a 6.61-fold higher risk of 2-year respiratory mortality (HR: 6.61, 95% CI 3.14-13.90; P < 0.001).
conclusionsAt the 1-year follow-up period, one-third of ARDS survivors experienced worsening QOL in South Korea. Specifically, newly acquired disability was associated with a higher risk of 2-year all-cause and respiratory mortality among patients who survived ARDS.
