Mortality-Related Risk Factors in Patients with Hematologic Neoplasm Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit: A Systematic Review.

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
backgroundHematooncology patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) are at high risk for mortality due to the severity of their critical illness. Such complications can develop into complex clinical management, thus signaling an urgent need to identify mortality-related factors to improve interventions and outcomes for these patients.
methodsA systematic review of studies published between 2012 and 2023 in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted, following the PRISMA guidelines. A meta-analysis was carried out to determine the significance of mortality-related factors.
resultsIn a review of twenty-four studies, it was found that invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) was associated with an odds ratio (OR) between 2.70 and 8.26 in 75% of the studies. The use of vasopressor support had an OR of 6.28 in 50% of the studies, while pulmonary involvement by tumor had an OR of 6.73 in 30% of the studies. Sepsis showed an OR of 5.06 in 60% of the studies, and neutropenia upon admission increased mortality in 40% of the studies. Severe respiratory failure (PaO
conclusionsMortality among hematooncology ICU patients is associated with IMV, vasopressor support, pulmonary involvement, sepsis, neutropenia, severe respiratory failure, ICU readmission, and late admission. Identifying and managing these factors in a timely manner can improve survival and the quality of care.
