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

Critical care medicine is a clinical medical discipline that studies the pathogenesis, progression, diagnosis, and management of life-threatening diseases caused by various etiological factors. The Intensive Care Unit (ICU), as the core clinical setting of critical care medicine, is responsible for the full-cycle management of critically ill patients, covering a series of comprehensive measures from early warning to rehabilitation. In 2024, the National Health Commission and seven other ministries jointly issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Capacity Building of Critical Care Medical Services", promoting the discipline into a new stage of high‑quality development. Based on this, the Chinese Society of Critical Care Medicine (CSCCM) organized domestic experts to discuss and formulate the "Guidelines for the Construction and Management of Critical Care Medicine in China (2025 Edition)." The guidelines focus on core elements of discipline organization and development, covering nine areas: ICU ward construction, ICU admission criteria, staffing and technical requirements for professionals, equipment configuration, quality management, professional training and continuing education, scientific research, response to public health emergencies, and improved service models. The working group initially formed recommended entries through initiation, literature search and screening, and synthesis of medical evidence. The preliminary recommendations were then revised through expert panel reviews, remote and face-to-face meetings, revisions, and finally finalized by voting at the Standing Committee of CSCCM, resulting in the establishment of foundational and developmental discipline construction guidelines. The guidelines apply to ICUs in secondary and above healthcare institutions, providing a scientific framework for discipline planning, construction, and management to enhance the quality of critical care services. Practice guideline registration: Practice Guideline Registration for Transparency (PREPARE-2025CN972).
