Can peripheral perfusion index predict disease mortality in COVID-19 patients in the emergency department.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia remains a major public health concern. The prognostic efficacy of Peripheral Perfusion Index (PPI) has been researched in different pathologies such as trauma and sepsis. We hypothesized that PPI may serve as predictor of mortality in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection. This study aimed to describe the association between PPI at admission and COVID-19 mortality, a new mortality prediction tool. Methods: This retrospective, observational study was conducted at a tertiary care center in Turkey. Adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection were enrolled in this study between Februrary 15, 2022 to April 15, 2023. Patient demographic and clinical data including vital signs, laboratory parameters and PPI on admission were collected from an electronic database. PPI was measured using Philips G30E patient monitor system. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Results: In total, 200 patients with COVID-19 infection were included and 42 (21 %) in-hospital deaths were identified. For all parameters of study, age, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, PPI, urea, creatinine, White Blood Cell (WBC), and High-sensitive cardiac Troponin T (hs-cTnT) values were significantly different between survivors vs non-survivors. hs-cTnT >21,25 pg/mL[HR:2.823 (95 % CI:1.211-6583)], PPI <2,15 [HR:2485 (95 % CI:1.194-5.175)], Oxygen saturation <87 % [HR:2258 (95 % CI:1.191-4.282)], and WBC >9680 x10 Conclusions: This study identified the factors affecting in-hospital mortality among COVID-19 patients. Importantly, besides many parameter, PPI at admission was significantly associated with COVID-19 mortality and could be a feasible marker in emergency department to identify high risk patients.
