The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on in-hospital mortality in patients admitted through the emergency department.
Article in Clinical and experimental emergency medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveThe COVID-19 pandemic might have adversely affected outcomes of patients in emergency departments (EDs). The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on in patients admitted through the emergency department.
methodsThis study is a single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study. We compared the prognosis of patients admitted through the ED before the COVID-19 pandemic (November 2018 to June 2019) and after COVID-19 (November 2020 to June 2021). The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine whether the COVID-19 pandemic was independently associated with patient prognosis.
resultsThe number of patients admitted through the ED before and after COVID-19 was 5,333 and 4,625, respectively. The mean ED length of stay before and after COVID-19 was 401 and 442 minutes, respectively (P<0.001). The number of in-hospital deaths before and after COVID-19 were 269 (5.0%) and 322 (7.0%), respectively (P<0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the COVID-19 period was significantly associated with higher in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 1.37; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-1.67; P=0.002).
conclusionIn the COVID-19 period, in-hospital mortality increased compared to that before COVID-19 among hospitalized ED patients.
