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

Objective: To describe and compare the demographics, management, and outcomes for patients with COVID-19 admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in Australia across the various waves of the COVID pandemic. Design setting and participants: People aged ≥16 years who were admitted to a participating ICU with confirmed COVID-19 in the Short Period Incidence Study of Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SPRINT-SARI) Australia study between February 2020 and May 2024. Main outcome measures: Primary outcome: In-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes: ICU mortality; ICU and hospital lengths of stay; supportive and disease-specific therapies. Results: From 27 February 2020 to 18 May 2024, 10171 people were admitted to 72 ICUs with confirmed COVID-19 disease. The Conclusion: COVID-19 continues to manifest significant morbidity and mortality in those requiring ICU admission. Despite a reduced need for ICU level supports, patients admitted during the
