Incidence of readmission to the ICU after cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Due to the complexity of cardiac surgery, almost all patients need to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for postoperative care after surgery. After being discharged from the ICU, some patients need to be readmitted due to disease deterioration during hospitalization. We conducted a meta-analysis of the literature to investigate the incidence of readmission to the ICU in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods: The PubMed, Medline, and Elsevier databases were searched using the keywords "cardiac surgery," "readmission," "intensive care unit," and "ICU" to retrieve English-language articles published from January 2000 to January 2021. The articles were screened, and their quality was evaluated. A meta-analysis was performed on the outcomes of patients after readmission to the ICU using Stata16.0 software. Results: Ultimately, 9 articles were included in the meta-analysis, comprising 32,825 cardiac surgery cases, of whom 1,302 were readmitted to the ICU. The incidence of readmission to the ICU was 3.97%. Among the direct reasons for readmission to the ICU, respiratory failure accounted for 13.6-48.6%, while hemodynamic instability accounted for 21.6-51.9%. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the mortality rate of patients readmitted to the ICU was significantly higher than that of patients not readmitted to the ICU [risk difference (RD) =8.05, 95% confidence interval (CI): 5.10-12.69, Z=8.965; P<0.0001], as was the length of hospital stay [standard mean difference (SMD) =3.17, 95% CI: 1.40-4.94, Z=3.504; P<0.001], and the incidence of complications (odds ratio =1.97, 95% CI: 1.35-2.87, Z=3.507; P<0.001). Conclusions: Nine articles were included in this meta-analysis on the incidence rate of readmission to the ICU of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The results showed that the proportion of readmission to the ICU was 3.97%. Patients readmitted to the ICU had a higher rate of complications, longer hospital stay, and higher mortality rate than those not readmitted.
