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
backgroundTo compensate for the non-availability of intensive care specialists, Cachar Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (a tertiary hospital in a resource-constrained setting, northeast India) introduced a hybrid intensive care unit (ICU with a centralised monitoring model).
methodsThis was a cohort study involving secondary data for patients admitted with curative intent in the hybrid ICU (October 2021 to December 2022). We report on our early implementation experience in the form of patient management and outcome indicators.
resultsThere were 909 admissions with curative intent, of which 73% were post-surgical. There were 238 admissions from October 2021 to March 2022, which increased to 671 from April to December 2022 (the period when effective implementation happened). The changes (unadjusted
conclusionDespite an increase in admissions following the introduction of the hybrid ICU, it did not adversely impact management and outcome indicators. Post-ICU hospital care, patient caregiver education, and home care team engagement should be strengthened to decrease readmissions.
