Hyperphosphatemia and Outcomes in Critically Ill Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
Introduction: Serum phosphate level is often deranged during critical illness. Hyperphosphatemia, as a marker of disease severity, attracts more and more attention. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of hyperphosphatemia on clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. Methods: We searched for relevant studies in PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane database up to Jan 10, 2022. Two authors independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed the study quality. Meta-analyses were performed to determine hyperphosphatemia prevalence and evaluate its relationship with prognosis and important clinical outcomes. We also conducted subgroup analysis and sensitivity analyses to explore the sources of heterogeneity. Results: Ten studies with 60,358 patients met the inclusion criteria. These studies were moderate to high quality. The median prevalence of hyperphosphatemia was 30% (range from 5.6 to 45%). Patients with hyperphosphatemia had a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality than those without (OR 2.85; 95% CI, 2.35 to 3.38, Conclusions: Our results indicated that hyperphosphatemia was associated with all-cause mortality in critically ill patients. However, due to the retrospective design of the included studies, more prospective, well-designed research is required in the future.
