A Meta-Analysis on Predictors of Mortality Among Patients Hospitalized for Acute Exacerbation of Asthma.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The aim of this meta-analysis is to systematically review published studies and identify clinically important factors predicting mortality among patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of asthma. This study was a meta-analysis conducted in accordance with the MOOSE (Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) guidelines. A systematic search was carried out on online databases such as PubMed and EMBASE to identify articles on predictors of mortality among patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of asthma. The search used keywords such as "asthma," "exacerbation," "mortality," and "factors." A total of six articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the present meta-analysis. The incidence of short-term mortality among patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of asthma was 6% (95% CI= 3-9%, I-square=99%) with a range of 0.79% to 18% across the studies. The factors significantly associated with short-term mortality in patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of asthma including diabetes mellitus (RR=2.02, 95% CI: 1.63-2.52, p-value=0.001), pneumonia (RR=3.71, 95% CI: 3.02-4.56, p-value=0.001), and mechanical ventilation (RR: 29.98, 95% CI: 15.46-58.15, p-value=0.001). The present study found that diabetes mellitus, pneumonia, and the use of mechanical ventilation are independently associated with mortality among patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of asthma. Healthcare professionals need to understand the comorbidities and risk factors associated with mortality in patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of asthma in order to identify patients who are at increased risk and provide prompt treatment.
