Malignant tumor increases the risk of all causes in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with ischemic stroke: analysis of the MIMIC-IV database.
Article in BMC neurology, 2024. 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
backgroundIschemic stroke (IS) and malignant tumor (MT) have high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide, and several associations exist between them. This study aimed to determine the effect of MT on hospital mortality in patients with IS.
methodsBased on their MT status, participants with IS in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) were divided into two groups. The primary outcome was in-hospital all causes mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to evaluate the intergroup in-hospital mortality, and three Cox regression models were used to determine the association between MT and in-hospital mortality.
resultsA total of 1605 participants (749 males and 856 females) were included in the study. The mean age was 72.030 ± 15.463 years. Of these, 257 (16%) patients died in the hospital. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the MT group had a significantly lower possibility of in-hospital survival than the non-MT group. In the unadjusted model, in-hospital mortality among MT patients had a higher odds ratio (OR) of 1.905 (95% CI, 1.320-2.748; P < 0.001) than the non-MT group. After adjusting for basic information, vital signs, and laboratory data, MT was also associated with increased in-hospital mortality (OR = 1.844, 95% CI: 1.255-2.708; P = 0.002).
conclusionsAmong the patients with IS, the risk of all causes in-hospital mortality was higher for MT than for patients non-MT. This finding can assist clinicians in more accurately assessing prognosis and making informed treatment decisions.
