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

backgroundBMI-mortality associations in critically ill cardiac surgery lack precise threshold characterization. We investigated the baseline BMI and in hospital mortality in ICU cardiac surgery patients.

methodsWe included 8032 cardiac surgery patients from eICU (208 US hospitals, 2014-2015). Focus exposure: BMI; key outcome: 30-day mortality. Adjustments encompassed demographics, laboratory values, APACHE-IV scores, comorbidities, and interventions. Nonlinear patterns were examined via penalized spline-fitted generalized additive modeling.

resultsAmong 8,032 patients (BMI: 29.6 ± 6.8 kg/m

conclusionsOur analysis identified a U-shaped BMI-mortality relationship in critically ill cardiac surgery patients, revealing an optimal risk threshold at 25.0 kg/m
