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

Background: Cardiac arrest (CA) causes systemic circulatory failure, leading to postcardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) and high mortality. Lactic clearance rate (LCR) and albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) reflect metabolic status but lack combined validation for predicting short-term mortality in CA patients. Objective: This study explores the predictive value of LCR at different time points and ACAG for 7-day mortality in post-CA patients and constructs a predictive model. Methods: Using the MIMIC-IV 3.0 database, we included eligible CA patients and calculated LCR at 6, 12, and 24 h, along with initial ACAG. ROC curves and logistic regression were used to assess predictive value, while restricted cubic splines (RCS) explored mortality risk. The best predictors were selected for model construction, with multivariate logistic regression identifying independent risk factors. Internal and external validations were performed. Results: A total of 821 patients were included, with a 7-day mortality rate of 34.47%. LCR was lower, and ACAG was higher in nonsurvivors ( Conclusion: The 24-h LCR combined with ACAG predicts short-term mortality in post-CA patients who survive the first 24 h, supporting risk stratification after early postresuscitation stabilization.
