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

Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex, life-threatening condition that requires timely care of patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of patients transferred to a cardiac intensive-care unit from outside hospitals, compared to those of patients admitted directly to a CS centre. Methods: Patients admitted with CS (January 1, 2014-December 31, 2019) were analyzed. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were recorded. Results: A total of 916 patients were admitted with CS; 440 (48.0%) were transferred from outside hospitals, and 476 (52.0%) were admitted directly to our institution. Transferred patients were younger (56.5 ± 14.7 vs 63.3 ± 16.3 years, Conclusions: Marked differences are present in the characteristics and outcomes of patients transferred from outside institutions vs of those transferred from within our quaternary-care centre. Further studies are required to evaluate decision-making for transfer of CS patients and assess CS outcomes in the setting of standardized CS protocols and interventions.
