Pattern of disease and determinants of mortality among ICU patients on mechanical ventilator in Sub-Saharan Africa: a multilevel analysis.
Observational study in Critical care (London, England), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05303831 (Pattern of Disease and Determinants of Clinical Outcomes Among ICU Patients on Mechanical Ventilator in Southern Ethiopia), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThe global mortality rate of patients with MV is very high, despite a significant variation worldwide. Previous studies conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa among ICU patients focused on the pattern of admission and the incidence of mortality. However, the body of evidence on the clinical outcomes among patients with MV is still uncertain.
objectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the pattern of disease and determinants of mortality among patients receiving mechanical ventilation in Southern Ethiopia.
methodsSix hundred and thirty patients on mechanical ventilation were followed for 28 days, and multilevel analysis was used to account for the clustering effect of ICU care in the region.
resultsThe incidence of 28-day mortality among patients with MV was 49% (95% CI: 36-58). The multilevel multivariate analysis revealed that being diabetic, having GSC < 8, and night time admission (AOR = 7.4; 95% CI: 2.96-18.38), (AOR = 5.9; (5% CI: 3.23, 10.69), and (AOR = 2.5; 95% CI: 1.24, 5.05) were predictors.
conclusionThe higher 28-day mortality among ICU patients on mechanical ventilation in our study might be attributed to factors such as delayed patient presentation, lack of resources, insufficient healthcare infrastructure, lack of trained staff, and financial constraints.
trial registrationThe protocol was registered retrospectively on ( NCT05303831 ).
