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

backgroundUpper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is one of the most common reasons for emergency department (ED) visits. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive power of the AIMS65 and pre-endoscopy Rockall scores in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients that presented to ED and were diagnosed with the upper GI bleeding.

methodsData of patients aged 18 years and older, who visited ED of Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital during the study period and were diagnosed with upper GI bleeding, were obtained from the electronic-based hospital information system and analyzed retrospectively. Each scoring system was compared using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.

resultsThe study was completed with 592 patients. The mean age of the patients was 63.5±19.0 years, and 68.6% were male. The total in-hospital mortality rate was 5.2%. In the ROC analysis of the AIMS65 and pre-endoscopy Rockall scores in the prediction of in-hospital mortality, the area under the curve values was calculated as 0.822 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.788-0.852) and 0.777 (95% CI: 0.741-0.810), respectively. When these two scoring systems were compared, neither had statistically significant superiority over the other in predicting in-hospital mortality.

conclusionThe AIMS65 and pre-endoscopy Rockall scores can be used to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with GI bleeding. However, since the AIMS65 score consists of only five variables that can easily be calculated in ED, we recommend its use in clinical practice.
