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

backgroundIn severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-related respiratory failure, the prognostic value of clinically based or blood-gas-based respiratory indexes is unclear.

objectivesWe aimed to assess the prognostic value of Respiratory Index (RI, oxygen saturation [SpO2]/respiratory rate [RR]), RR-oxygenation index (ROX, SpO2/fraction of inspired oxygen [FiO2]/RR), partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2)/FiO2 ratio (P/F), or standard PaO2/FiO2 ratio (STP/F) at admission and of their variation during hospitalization in SARS-CoV-2-related respiratory failure.

methodsIn 100 consecutive patients hospitalized due to SARS-CoV-2-related respiratory failure, we assessed the association of RI, ROX, P/F and STP/F, and death; secondary outcome was the composite of 7-day death or intensive care unit (ICU) admission.

resultsROX <3.85 at admission (hazard ratio [HR] 2.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.29-6.77) and decreasing RI or P/F during hospitalization (RI: HR 1.05, 95% CI: 1.00-1.09; P/F: HR 1.01, 95% CI: 1.00-1.02) were predictors of in-hospital death. RI ≤3.8, ROX <3.85, and P/F <100 at admission were predictors for death or ICU admission (RI: HR 3.77, 95% CI: 1.30-10.98; ROX: HR 4.56, 95% CI: 1.90-10.96; P/F: HR 7.37, 95% CI: 1.59-34.2). The decrease of RI (HR 1.14, 95% CI: 1.03-1.25), ROX (HR 1.45, 95% CI: 1.11-1.88), P/F (HR 1.08, 95% CI: 1.01-1.15), or STP/F (HR 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01-1.08) during hospitalization was associated with 7-day death or ICU admission.

conclusionsIn patients with SARS-CoV-2-related respiratory failure, easy-to-calculate clinically based respiratory indexes at admission and their variation during hospital stay can be used to assess and monitor the risk for death or ICU admission.
