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

backgroundThis study was aimed to investigate the correlation between low body temperature and outcomes in critically ill patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).

methodsParticipants from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV were divided into three groups (≤ 36.5 ℃, 36.6-37.4 ℃, ≥ 37.5 ℃) in accordance with body temperature measured orally in ICU. In-hospital, 28-day and 90-day mortality were the major outcomes. Multivariable Cox regression, decision curve analysis (DCA), restricted cubic splines (RCS), Kaplan-Meier curves (with or without propensity score matching), and subgroup analyses were used to investigate the association between body temperature and outcomes.

resultsA total of 8577 patients (65% men) were included. The in-hospital, 28-day, 90-day, and 1-year overall mortality rate were 10.9%, 16.7%, 21.5%, and 30.4%, respectively. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses indicated that patients with hypothermia compared to the patients with normothermia were at higher risk of in-hospital [adjusted hazard ratios (HR) 1.23, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.49], 28-day (1.38, 1.19-1.61), and 90-day (1.36, 1.19-1.56) overall mortality. For every 1 ℃ decrease in body temperature, adjusted survival rates were likely to eliminate 14.6% during the 1-year follow-up. The DCA suggested the applicability of the model 3 in clinical practice and the RCS revealed a consistent higher mortality in hypothermia group.

conclusionsLow body temperature was associated with increased mortality in critically ill patients with coronary heart disease.
