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

backgroundNeurocritical care is a growing subspecialty. It concerns with the management of life-threatening neurological disorders. There is limited information regarding epidemiological data, disease characteristics, variability of clinical care, and in-hospital mortality of neurocritical patients worldwide.

objectivesTo study the pattern of neurocritical disorders in intensive care units. METHODOLOGY: This prospective observational study was conducted on neurocritical patients who were admitted to four intensive care units of major hospitals in Khartoum state during the period from November 2020 to January 2021.

resultsSeventy-two neurocritical patients were included in this study, 40 (55.6%) were males and 32(44.4%) were females. Twenty-three (31.9%) patients were with stroke, 12 (16.7%) with encephalitis, 9 (12.5%) with status epilepticus, 6 (8.3%) with Guillain Barre syndrome, and 4(5.6%) with Myasthenia Gravis (MG). Twenty-three patients (39.9%) needed mechanical ventilation (MV), which was the major indication for intensive care unit admission.

conclusionStroke was the dominant diagnostic pattern requiring intensive care unit admission. Mechanical ventilation was the major indication for admission. Establishing specialized neurocritical intensive care units is highly recommended.
