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

Almost one in four critically ill patients suffer from intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). Currently, the gold standard for measuring intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is via the bladder. Measurement of IAP is important to identify IAH early and thus implement appropriate management in order to avoid complications. It may be possible to use anthropometric parameters to predict IAP and thus identify IAH non-invasively. This retrospective observational study investigated how the most relevant body parameters evolve in relation to IAP, and whether IAP can be predicted based on anthropometric parameters. The IAP and 28 body parameters of 96 critically ill patients were recorded. Following statistical analyses such as Pearson's and mutual information correlation, the collected data were used to train a simulation model to examine reliable relationships between IAP, predict IAP values, and detect IAH. Three metrics were shown to sufficiently predict intra-bladder pressure (IBP) with a Pearson's correlation of 0.75 (R
