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

backgroundOur hypothesis is that glucose-potassium (GLU/K) ratio can be used to predict morbidity and mortality in the evaluation of patients with blunt abdominal trauma in emergency departments. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the effect of changes in serum GLU/K ratio on morbidity and mortality and to ensure that patient management is performed more quickly and effectively.

methodsThe hemogram and biochemical parameters of 99 patients with isolated blunt abdominal trauma, applied to our hospital between January 2016 and January 2020, have been retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups as non-survivors and survivors. The GLU/K ratio was calculated, and their ability to predict mortality and morbidity was statistically evaluated between the groups.

resultsIn the non-survivor (mortal) group; blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, serum GLU and GLU/K ratio were statistically higher than the living group (p<0.005). Moreover, the sensitivity and specificity of the serum GLU/K ratio were found 72.7% and 84.1% respectively.

conclusionWe think that serum GLU/K ratio can have an important role in the follow-up and management of patients using it as a simple, quickly accessible, and easy predictor in evaluating patients with blunt abdominal trauma.
