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

backgroundThe clinical spectrum of COVID-19 varies from no or mild symptoms to pneumonia with fatal complications. The aim of the study was to find predictors of mortality and admission in the intensive care unit (ICU) in patients hospitalized for COVID-19.

methodsRetrospective study of a cohort of patients admitted for COVID-19 between March 2020 and February 2021. Demographic, clinical, radiological and laboratory variables were described at admission. Independent predictors of mortality and ICU admission were identified by means of backward stepwise logistic regression and described in terms of odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI).

resultsA total of 883 patients were included, 51.8% men with a mean age of 68; 1.8% readmissions. 17.6% of patients died (n=154). The independent predictors of mortality were age (OR=1.071; 95%CI: 1.046-1.095), percentage of oxygen saturation (SatO2) (OR=0.938; 95%CI: 0.903-0.974), diastolic blood pressure (DBP, OR= 0.972; 95%CI: 0.955-0.989), creatinine (OR=1.516; 95%CI: 1.088-2.113), INR (OR=1.199; 95%CI: 1.012-1.419) and sodium (OR=1.082; 95%CI: 1.037-1.128). Eight percent of patients were admitted to ICU; the independent predictors were: male sex (OR=2.079; 95%CI: 1.099-3.935), age (OR=0.960; 95%CI: 0.942-0.979), SatO2 (OR=0.925; 95%CI: 0.889-0.962), creatinine (OR=1.551; 95%CI: 1.118-2.152) and C-reactive protein (CRP, OR=1.003; 95%CI: 1.000-1.007).

conclusionThe identification of independent predictors of mortality (age, SatO2, DBP, creatinine, INR, sodium) and ICU admission (sex, age, SatO2, creatinine, and CRP) allowed for the stratification of patients to adapt clinical care protocols to these findings, thereby improving medical decisions.
