Intensive Care in Patients with Solid Tumours: A Practical Framework for Integrated Onco-Critical Care.
Review in Cancers, 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
The number of patients with solid tumours requiring intensive care is increasing as cancer survival improves and oncological treatments become more complex. Intensive care unit (ICU) admission decisions should not be based on cancer diagnosis, metastatic status or palliative treatment intent alone. This narrative review presents a practical, multidisciplinary framework for assessing critically ill patients with solid tumours. It integrates acute illness severity and reversibility, organ failure, baseline performance status and frailty, cancer trajectory, remaining treatment options, expected functional recovery and patient preferences. We discuss contemporary anticancer treatment toxicities, cancer-associated thromboembolic disease, older adults, palliative care, communication and ethical decision-making. We also propose an algorithm ranging from full ICU support to a time-limited ICU trial with predefined reassessment or comfort-focused care. Early joint assessment by oncology and intensive care teams, followed by dynamic reassessment, may reduce both inappropriate escalation and premature exclusion from potentially beneficial organ support. Future research should prioritize structured pathways, improved prognostic tools and outcomes beyond survival, including functional recovery, quality of life and the ability to resume meaningful cancer treatment.
