Long-term trends in intensive care unit hospitalizations in Poland: a study based on the National Hospital Registry, 2012-2021.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalizations are one of the major burdens on the healthcare system, and they may be related to high risk of in-hospital fatality. The aim of the study was to describe long-term trends in ICU hospitalizations and related fatality rates in Poland. Material and methods: It was a population-based study based on 738,579 ICU hospitalization records in 2012-2021. Results: Based on the hospital registry and data on the general population, the mean annual ICU hospitalization incidence was estimated at 1.9 per 1,000 (SD = 0.17). A significant increasing trend in hospitalizations was observed from 1.6 per 1,000 in 2012 to 2.2 per 1,000 in 2021, Conclusions: The paper presents the recent trends in quantitative and qualitative changes in ICU hospitalizations in Poland. The presented data may constitute the basis for comparative analyses in a global context. Our findings suggest that adaptive systemic changes are necessary to improve health care.
