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

BackgroundIn patients with severe acute brain injury (SABI) admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) outcome is often uncertain. Physicians have to decide on continuation or withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST) in the first weeks. However, long-term neurological outcomes rarely reach the ICU team, limiting the opportunity to learn from decisions. This study aimed to assess the availability of long-term neurological outcome data and from which sources this could be retrieved.MethodsThis single-center retrospective observational study included all ICU survivors with SABI between January first and December 31
