Risk factors and comorbidities associated with cardiac arrests and medical emergencies in interventional radiology patients.
Article in CVIR endovascular, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo investigate the incidence, predictors, and outcomes of medical emergencies in patients undergoing IR procedures at a tertiary care center. MATERIALS AND
methodsSeven-year retrospective review of all medical emergencies in patients undergoing IR procedures at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Medical emergencies included Cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA), or emergencies that required activation of the critical care response team (CCRT). Variables included demographics, procedure details and outcome data including complications and 30-day mortality. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify independent predictors of CPA and 30-day mortality.
resultsNinety-four patients (50% male) were included with a median age of 60.5 years. Recent or current ICU admission was recorded in 39 patients (43.8%). Comorbidities included diabetes (50%), hypertension (59.6%), coronary artery disease (25.5%), heart failure (21.5%), ESRD (28.7%), active infection 28 (31%), with ASA3 in 64 patients (68%) and ASA4 in 23 (24.5%). The incidence of CPA and CCRT activation was 0.045% and 0.049%, respectively, among 100,000 patients who underwent IR procedures during the study period. Half the events were with venous procedures, followed by non-vascular (33%) and arterial procedures (10.6%). 30-day mortality was 30.5%. Independent predictors of CPA included pulmonary disease (aOR 16.79, 95% CI 2.334-195.3, p = 0.0097), emergency procedures (aOR 11.63, 95% CI 2.517-72.46, p = 0.0035), general anesthesia (aOR 19.41, 95% CI 1.854-491.8, p = 0.0254), and sedation (aOR 13.04, 95% CI 2.081-118.8, p = 0.0108). Predictors of 30-day mortality were CPA (aOR 9.830, 95% CI 2.439-66.66, p = 0.0045) and hypotension as a complication (aOR 16.81, 95% CI 3.766-122.3, p = 0.0009).
conclusionOur findings highlight the complexity of patients undergoing IR procedures and the importance of identifying high-risk patients to prevent adverse events in the IR setting.
