The impact of an intensive care unit admission on the health status of relatives of intensive care survivors: A prospective cohort study in primary care.
Article in The European journal of general practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundRelatives of intensive care unit (ICU) survivors may suffer from various symptoms after ICU admittance of their relative, known as post-intensive care syndrome-family (PICS-F). Studies regarding PICS-F have been performed but its impact in primary care is unknown.
objectivesTo explore health problems of relatives of ICU survivors in primary care.
methodsThis is an exploratory prospective cohort study in which we combined data from two hospitals and a primary care research network in the Netherlands. ICU survivors who had been admitted between January 2005 and July 2017 were identified and matched by sex and age with up to four chronically ill (e.g. COPD, cardiovascular disease) patients. In both groups, relatives living in the same household were identified and included in this study. Primary outcome was the number of new episodes of care (International Classification of Primary Care-2) for up to five years. Hazard ratios (HRs) for the total number of new episodes were calculated.
resultsRelatives of ICU survivors (
conclusionRelatives of ICU survivors present more morbidity in primary care than relatives of chronically ill patients up to five years after ICU discharge.
