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

The easy albumin-bilirubin (EZ-ALBI) score is derived using the following equation: total bilirubin (mg/dL) - 9 × albumin (g/dL). This study aimed to determine whether the EZ-ALBI score predicted mortality risk in adult trauma patients in an intensive care unit (ICU). Data from a hospital's trauma database were retrospectively evaluated for 1083 adult trauma ICU patients (139 deaths and 944 survivors) between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2021. Patients were classified based on the ideal EZ-ALBI cut-off of -26.5, which was determined via receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The deceased patients' EZ-ALBI scores were higher than those of the surviving patients (-26.8 ± 6.5 vs. -30.3 ± 5.9,
