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

purposeBeyond age, increased mortality among older patients admitted in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is highly correlated to geriatrics factors including autonomy and frailty. A global geriatric approach may improve outcomes in this population. This study aimed to compare the 1-year mortality rate among patients hospitalized in an acute geriatric ward (AGW) following an ICU stay with that of patients transferred to any other ward (OW).

methodsWe conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study including patients aged 80 and over who were discharged alive from intensive care. The primary outcome was 1-year mortality. Secondary outcomes were factors associated with 1-year mortality.

resultsOut of a total of 656 included patients, 198 were admitted to AGW and 458 to OW. One-year mortality did not differ significantly between groups (37% vs 38% respectively, p = 0.93). Nonetheless, patients in the AGW cohort were older (85 vs 84 years old respectively, p = 0.0005), were more dependent (ADL 5 [5-6] vs 6 [6-6], p = 0.001) and frailer (CFS 4 [4-5] vs 4 [4-4]; p = 0.028). In multivariate analysis, independent risk factors for 1-year mortality were a history of cardiac failure (aRR = 1.54 [1.09- 2.18]; p = 0.014) and higher severity according to Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG aRR = 1.71 [1.28-2.29]; p = 0.0003) and SAPS II score (aRR = 1.01 [1.00-1.02]; p = 0.046).

conclusionDespite being older, frailer, more frequently dependent, patients admitted to AGW had similar 1-year mortality compared with those admitted in other wards. Severity assessed by DRG and SAPS II scores, and a history of cardiac failure were factors associated to 1 year mortality.
