Emergency Surgery Score as an Effective Risk Stratification Tool for Patients Undergoing Emergency Surgeries: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Several risk stratification tools have been described for quantifying perioperative morbidity, mortality, and adverse events in patients undergoing elective and emergency surgeries. These tools help in decision-making, determining the prognosis and communicating it with patients and family members, and planning admissions to the intensive care units (ICU) if necessary. Emergency surgery poses quite a unique challenge in terms of deranged physiology, age, and comorbid conditions, and often carries a higher incidence of morbidity and mortality. Very few risk stratification tools are available to reliably predict the risk posed by emergency surgical interventions. One of the recently described tools is the Emergency Surgery Score (ESS), which comprises three demographic variables, 10 comorbidities, and nine laboratory variables, the scores of which add up to 29. Several studies have demonstrated that ESS reliably predicts morbidity, mortality, and the need for ICU admission, predicting infectious complications like pneumonia and renal failure. In this review, we analyze the current literature to investigate the efficacy and reliability of ESS as a risk stratification tool for patients undergoing emergency surgeries.
