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

Objectives: To analyzed the clinical characteristics and treatment modalities of heat stroke (HS) and to identify risk factors for a poor prognosis of HS and provide reference suggestions for its treatment and prevention. Measurements and main results: We enrolled a total of 247 patients, with hypertension, diabetes, and psychosis being the top three comorbidities associated with HS. The incidence of HS was higher among males and older individuals. Compared to the control group, the poor prognosis group experienced higher temperatures, a higher incidence of cerebral edema, and gastrointestinal bleeding (all Conclusion: A high incidence of hypertension, diabetes, psychosis, men, and older persons may be associated with HS. HS patients with high blood cell counts, impaired coagulation, liver and kidney diseases, and those with a specific type of CHS may face a poor prognosis. In patients with heart failure, APACHE II, Lac, and Scr were independent risk factors for a poor prognosis.
