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

backgroundSupraphysiologic levels of oxygen could have potential adverse effects on the brain that may be dose and time dependent in patients with brain injury. We therefore aimed to assess whether exposure to excess supplemental oxygen, measured as time-weighted mean exposure to hyperoxemia, was associated with intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

methodsIn this single-center retrospective cohort study, we included all patients admitted to our ICU with a diagnosis of primary spontaneous ICH. To provide a longitudinal measure of hyperoxemia exposure, we calculated the hyperoxemia dose, defined as the area under the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO

resultsBetween September 2019 and July 2022, 275 patients met the inclusion criteria, with 24,588 arterial blood gas results available for analysis. The mean age was 57.19 years (± 13.99), 59.64% were male, 23.64% had an infratentorial origin of hemorrhage, and ICU mortality was 35.64%. Almost all patients (97.45%) were exposed to hyperoxemia during their ICU admission. Cox regression modeling showed an association between hyperoxemia dose and ICU mortality (hazard ratio 1.15, confidence interval 1.05-1.25, p = 0.003). This association was observed in the 0-1 day subset in the step-function extended Cox model (hazard ratio 1.19, confidence interval 1.06-1.35, p = 0.005) but not in any of the subsequent exposure periods.

conclusionsIn patients with ICH admitted to the ICU, we observed an association between hyperoxemia dose and ICU mortality. Further prospective study is required to inform guidance on early systemic oxygen targets in ICH.
