Sex differences in serious outcomes among critically ill adults following endotracheal intubation.
Article in World journal of critical care medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundSeveral studies have reported sex differences in resuscitation outcomes in critically ill adults, but whether these differences are associated with endotracheal intubation practices is not known.
aimTo investigate sex differences in serious outcomes among critically ill adults undergoing endotracheal intubation in the emergency department.
methodsIn this observational study, we enrolled all critically ill adult patients who underwent endotracheal intubation in the emergency department from 2016 to 2020. The serious outcomes were defined as mortality within 1 hour post endotracheal intubation, cardiac arrest within 1 hour post intubation, worsening hypotension (systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg) and oxygen desaturation (< 92%). Variables known or suspected to be associated with serious outcomes were examined with univariate logistic regression. Furthermore, we conducted sensitivity analysis on the patient cohort, incorporating propensity score matching with nearest neighbor methods at a ratio of 1:1 to address baseline variations between male and female participants, using R program software version 4.1.3 with a library (MatchIT).
resultsA total of 1021 patients were enrolled in our study, with a median age of 52.2 years (± 17.5). The mean age of the females was 52.2 (± 17.8) years, and that of the males was 52.1 (± 17.3) years. Endotracheal intubation was most frequently observed in males (634; 62%). The frequency of cardiac arrest was 118 (18.6%) males and 77 (19.9%) females, with a
conclusionThe study revealed that females were at greater risk of serious outcomes in critically ill adults post endotracheal intubation than males were in the emergency department.
