Association of the Charlson index with risk classification, clinical aspects, and emergency outcomes.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo exam the association of the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index with the categories of risk classification, the clinical aspects, and the patient outcomes in the emergency department.
methodCross-sectional, analytical study that analyzed the medical records of 3,624 patients seen in the emergency department. Charlson index scores greater than 2 showed a high rate of comorbidity (mortality risk). T-test and analysis of variance were applied in the analyses.
resultsThere was a significant difference between the Charlson comorbidity index and the risk classification, with higher scores found in patients classified in the white (2.57) and red (2.06) categories. Patients with vascular, endocrine, neurological, cardiologic, or device problems, and those who underwent a head tomography had a high rate of comorbidity. In addition, those admitted, transferred, or who died in the emergency room had significantly higher index scores compared to those who were discharged from the hospital.
conclusionThe high rate of comorbidity was associated with the categories of risk classification, main and nonspecific complaints, performance of a head tomography, and patient outcomes in the emergency room.
