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

Objective: To explore the application value of heart rate variability (HRV) combined with SOFA score and APACHE II score in predicting the 28-day mortality risk of patients in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU), and to provide a basis for early clinical risk assessment. Method: A retrospective study was conducted on 115 patients admitted to the EICU of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University. The patients were divided into the survival group ( Result: Compared with the survival group, the death group had significantly higher age, SOFA score, and APACHE II score ( Conclusion: Heart rate variability parameters can reflect the autonomic nerve function status of EICU patients. The combination of HRV with the SOFA score and APACHE II score system can improve the accuracy of predicting the 28-day mortality risk of EICU patients.
