Factors influencing the length of stay in the moroccan intensive care unit in patients surviving critical COVID-19 infection.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Introduction: our objective is to determine the factors that influence the length of hospitalization of patients admitted to an intensive care unit. Methods: We have conducted a mono-centric retrospective cohort of 417 patients admitted in intensive care unit for a critical infection by COVID-19, for this purpose we have realized an analytical study using the linear regression model. Results: In our study, the average length of hospitalization for a critical infection with COVID-19 is 6 days (SD = 7Days), regarding the factors that influence the length of hospitalization, the length of time between the consultation and the onset of symptoms higher thann 8 days affects the length of hospitalization (coefficient = 1.2 days; CI = 0.769; 2.102 and pValue = 0.009), the presence of obesity which also affects the length of hospitalization (Coefficient = 1.6 days CI ((0.009; 3.265), and pValue = 0.049). During hospitalization, the use of mechanical ventilation, the use of tocilizumab, having a billateral nosocomial pneumonia are all factors that impact the length of hospitalization. Conclusion: It is recommended to emphasize the importance of early consultation after the onset of respiratory symptoms in the patients who are admitted to the intensive care unit in order to improve the length of their stay.
