Clinical characteristics of older people and risk factors for developing multiple organ dysfunction following wasp stings.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2026. 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
purposeTo analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with short-term multiple organ dysfunction (MODS) in older people suffering from wasp stings.
methodsThe study assessed the demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of patients aged > 65 years old suffering from wasp stings. The patients were categorized into the non-MODS and MODS groups based on the occurrence of MODS, and their clinical data were then compared. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors associated with the development of MODS in older people with wasp stings.
resultsA total of 118 patients with complete clinical data were assigned to two groups: non-MODS (n = 69) and MODS (n = 49). The mean age of the subjects was 68.3 ± 5.3 years, and the ratio of male/female was 54/64. Significant differences between the two groups were observed in age, pre-hospital time, and the proportion of patients receiving advanced life support therapy (p < 0.05). Acute kidney injury (AKI) was determined to be the most common complication, occurring in 20 (17.0%) patients overall (MODS vs. non-MODS: 32.7% vs.5.8%, p < 0.001), followed by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which occurred in 18 (15.3%) patients (MODS vs. non-MODS: 30.6% vs. 4.3%, p < 0.001), with significant differences recorded between the groups. Logistic regression analysis indicated that advanced age, a greater number of stings, longer pre-hospital time, and the occurrence of AKI and ARDS acted as independent risk factors for MODS.
conclusionOlder people stung by wasps have a high incidence of MODS. ARDS and AKI are the key complications associated with MODS. Clinicians should therefore use the following five indicators: age, number of stings, pre-hospital time, and the occurrence of AKI and ARDS to rapidly assess the risk and implement targeted intensive treatment focused on early respiratory support and active blood purification in high-risk older people for improving the prognosis.
