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

purposeTo compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and functional status between obese, underweight, normal-weight, and overweight patients after three months post-intensive care unit (ICU) discharge.

methodsMulticenter cohort study (10 Brazilian ICUs). 1600 ICU survivors (≥ 72 h in the ICU) were included.The main outcomes were HRQoL and functional status assessed three months after the ICU discharge. The secondary outcomes were mortality, hospital readmission, and ICU readmission during the same period.

resultsObese patients (median 50.1; IQR 39.6-59.6) had lower HRQoL in the mental component than normal-weight patients (median 53; IQR 45.6-60.1) (p = 0.033). No differences were found between BMI categories regarding the physical component of HRQoL and the Barthel Index (p = 0.355 and 0.295, respectively). Regarding readmissions, 65.1 and 25.1% of patients were readmitted to the hospital and ICU, but there was no difference between the groups (p = 0.870 and 0.220, respectively). Obese patients died less frequently (11.8%) than underweight (30.9%) and normal-weight (19.3%) patients (p < 0.001).

conclusionAfter three months of post-ICU discharge, obese patients had lower HRQoL in the mental component than normal-weight patients. However, obese patients died less than underweight and normal-weight patients.
