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

Blood pressure (BP) is a crucial component of the APACHE II scoring system for assessing the severity of illness in ICU patients, and it plays a pivotal role in predicting patient mortality. Based on fluctuations, the 24-h BP patterns of ICU patients can be categorized into dippers (10% ≤ the fall < 20%), extreme-dippers (fall ≥ 20%), non-dippers (0% ≤ the fall < 10%), and reverse-dippers (fall < 0%). This study aims to investigate whether there are statistically significant differences in ICU mortality, in-hospital mortality, 28-day mortality, and 1-year mortality among the dipper, non-dipper, extreme-dipper, and reverse-dipper groups. We enrolled all adult patients with continuous BP monitoring within 24 h of ICU admission. Using Navicat Premium 16 software, we extracted the first 24-h BP values of 10462 patients from the MIMIC IV v2.2 database. Patients were then classified into the dipper group (n = 1244), non-dipper group (n = 6162), reverse-dipper group (n = 2940), and extreme-dipper group (n = 116). Among ICU patients, the non-dipper pattern group constituted the largest proportion (58.90%), followed by the reverse-dipper pattern group (28.10%). After adjusting for relevant confounding factors, we found that the reverse-dipper group had the strongest correlation with in-hospital mortality (OR: 1.592, p < 0.05), 28-day mortality (OR: 1.607, p < 0.01), 90-day mortality (OR: 1.402, p < 0.01), 180-day mortality (OR: 1.403, p < 0.01), and 1-year mortality (OR: 1.525, p < 0.001), with statistical significance observed for all these associations. In the ICU setting, the non-dipper BP pattern is the most prevalent. However, the reverse-dipper pattern is the most significantly associated with mortality.
