Predictive values of news and Mts in patients presenting with dyspnea: A comparative cohort study.
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 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
objectiveDyspnea is a frequent yet potentially life-threatening complaint in emergency departments. This study aimed to compare the predictive accuracy of the National Early Warning Score and the Manchester Triage System for key clinical outcomes among dyspneic ED patients.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 726 adult dyspneic patients presenting to a tertiary ED. Demographics, initial vital signs, MTS triage category, and calculated NEWS values were recorded at admission. Outcomes included hospital ward admission, intensive care unit admission, in-hospital mortality, 48-hour reattendance, and length of stay. Statistical analyses comprised chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, and logistic regression models.
resultsThe mean age was 61.1 years, and 52.9% were female. Of the patients, 13.8% were admitted to wards, 3.2% to ICUs, and 2.3% died; 4.1% reattended within 48 hours. NEWS risk stratification strongly aligned with MTS categories (p<0.001). Higher NEWS scores were associated with older age, higher respiratory and pulse rates, lower blood pressure, and reduced oxygen saturation. NEWS independently predicted hospital admission (OR=4.47, p<0.001) and ICU admission (OR=1.94, p=0.001), whereas MTS predicted ICU admission (inverse association, OR=0.34, p<0.001) and mortality (OR=0.30, p<0.001).
conclusionNEWS more accurately predicted hospital and ICU admission, while MTS was more strongly associated with mortality in dyspneic ED patients. These complementary roles suggest that combining both tools-or developing a dyspnea-specific hybrid model-may enhance risk stratification and improve outcomes.
