Effect of early intubation on patient-centered outcomes in urosepsis: a retrospective multicenter cohort study.
Article in Journal of intensive care, 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
backgroundUrosepsis has a reported mortality rate of up to 13.5%, and approximately 38% of affected patients require intubation. This study evaluated the association between the timing of intubation and in-hospital mortality among patients with urosepsis.
methodsWe conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study using the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Registry Adult Patient Database. Adult ICU patients (≥ 16 years) with a primary diagnosis of urosepsis admitted between 1 January 2018 and 1 April 2023 were included. Patients were classified into early (≤ 24 h from ICU admission) or delayed (> 24 h) intubation groups. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included ICU and hospital lengths of stay (LOS), mortality at 6, and 12 months. Outcomes were analyzed using multivariable logistic or linear regression models.
resultsOf 1,235 patients across 151 sites, 983 patients (79.6%) received early intubation. In-hospital mortality was similar between early and delayed intubation groups (19.2% vs. 17.5%, p = 0.52). Early intubation was not associated with in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.76; 95% confidence intervals [95% CI] 0.51-1.13). Patients with early intubation had shorter ICU LOS (adjusted point estimate = -2.94 days; 95% CI -3.90 to -1.98) but not hospital LOS. There was no association between early intubation and mortality at 6 months (adjusted OR = 0.76; 95% CI 0.53-1.10) and 12 months (adjusted OR = 0.75; 95% CI 0.53-1.06).
conclusionsEarly intubation within the first 24 h after ICU admission was not associated with reduced in-hospital or long-term mortality among patients with urosepsis.
