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 and Objectives: The aim of this study was to externally validate the prognostic score for mechanically ventilated patients with novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), the simplified intubated COVID-19 predictive (sICOP) score. Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter, observational study conducted using the database registry of patients with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 at 66 hospitals in Japan. The data of 146 mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients were analyzed. Results: The areas under the curve (AUC) of the sICOP score for predicting the 28-day mortality and in-hospital mortality were 0.81 (0.73-0.89) and 0.74 (0.65-0.83), respectively. The AUC of the score was statistically significantly higher than that of the SOFA score for 28-day mortality and in-hospital mortality (28-day mortality; 0.82 [0.73-0.90] vs. 0.58 [0.46-0.70], Conclusion: We found that the sICOP score was useful for predicting the 28-day mortality with excellent accuracy in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients in the era prior to the widespread availability of vaccines and effective antivirals. Validation of the score would be needed by using data from recent waves.
