Early postoperative factors associated with in-hospital mortality after emergency noncardiac surgery: A Japanese nationwide registry-based intensive care unit cohort study.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 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
Emergency noncardiac surgery carries a substantial risk of death, yet factors influencing outcomes immediately after surgery remain unclear. We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study of adults admitted to intensive care units immediately after emergency noncardiac surgery between January 2020 and December 2023, using data from the nationwide Japanese Intensive Care Patient Database (JIPAD) registry. Among 18,781 patients, 2,233 (11.9%) died during hospitalization. Independent predictors of mortality included older age (≥65 years; adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.69-2.13), metastatic cancer (aOR 2.60, 95% CI 2.07-3.26), and physiological abnormalities within 24 hours of admission, specifically low Glasgow Coma Scale score (≤8; aOR 3.38, 95% CI 2.96-3.87) and elevated lactate (≥2 mmol/L; aOR 1.58, 95% CI 1.43-1.76). Hypotension, tachycardia, and renal dysfunction were also associated with mortality. These associations remained consistent across age groups and sensitivity analyses that excluded low-risk surgical categories and addressed missing data. In this nationwide cohort, the in-hospital mortality rate was 11.9% after emergency noncardiac surgery. Readily obtainable postoperative variables within the first 24 hours of ICU admission may support prompt risk stratification and help identify high-risk patients who require intensified monitoring.
