Shifting Priorities in Emergency Medicine: The Rise of Hematological and Hepatological Emergencies and Their Impact on Mortality Rates.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background Liver disease is a major global health concern, causing millions of deaths each year. Cirrhosis, a serious complication of liver disease, is a leading cause of disability and healthcare costs. Alcohol abuse is a major contributor to liver diseases, particularly in high-income countries. However, the burden of liver diseases is also rising in developing countries like India due to factors such as lifestyle changes and increasing alcohol consumption. Also, there is an increasing incidence of hematological malignancy globally. Method In this study, we analyzed admission and discharge data of patients admitted to a medical ward of a tertiary care hospital in central India. All the patients admitted to the medical ward were included in the study. The records with insufficient patient information were excluded from the study. The data was analyzed from January 2022 to December 2022. The data was analyzed every quarter in terms of counts and percentages. The variables included were the total percentage of admissions and mortality quarterly, the percentage of admissions based on disease type counts on subclassifications of disease category, and the percentage distribution of liver diseases according to gender and cause. Result A total of 1083 patients were admitted to the medicine ward from the emergency department, 929 (85.78%) were discharged, 45 (4.15%) were transferred, and 109 died, resulting in a mortality rate of 10.06%. In our study, we found that among non-infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases still occupy the top spot with 164 (15.14%) admissions and 18 (10.98%) mortality. In comparison, the second position is held by hematological emergencies with 134 (12.37%) admissions and four (2.99%) mortality, while the third highest number of admissions was from hepatological cases with 109 (10.6%) admissions and 19 (17.43%) mortality. Conclusion Since data regarding admissions to emergency departments is very limited in India, more data is needed to draw valuable conclusions. However, we want to stress that although cardiovascular diseases are still a top priority in terms of mortality and morbidity, there is now a rising percentage of admissions of hematological and hepatological cases, with hepatological emergencies even having higher mortality.
