Predictors of Survival Among the Oldest Old Following Acute Hospital Admission: Insights From Clinical and Biochemical Factors.

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
Understanding the factors influencing survival in oldest old population is crucial for providing appropriate care and improving outcomes. This prospective observational study aimed to investigate the determinants of survival in acutely ill oldest old patients during acute hospitalization and 1-month follow-up. Various geriatric domains and biochemical markers were assessed. Among the 70 included patients with a median age of 87 (Inter quartile range: 85-90), the presence of diabetes, delirium, tachypnea, and high sirtuin-5 levels were associated with reduced in-hospital survival. Non-survivors had raised levels of Sirtuin 1 and Sirtuin 5, with an increase of 43% and 70%, respectively. At 1 month, delirium and diabetes were still associated with reduced survival. These findings suggest that type-2 diabetes, delirium, tachypnea, and high sirtuin-5 levels could serve as predictors of reduced survival in acutely ill, hospitalized oldest old patients.
