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

backgroundHemorrhagic stroke is a potentially fatal condition with high mortality and morbidity. However, there is a lack of evidence for this relationship in critically ill patients with hemorrhagic stroke. This study aims to explore the relationship between hypomagnesemia and ICU mortality in severe hemorrhagic stroke patients.

methodsThe study included 2,026 severe hemorrhagic stroke patients from the Electronic Intensive Care Unit Collaborative Study database, categorized into hypomagnesemia and non-hypomagnesemia groups based on serum magnesium levels. Primary outcome was ICU mortality. Secondary outcome was mechanical ventilation use. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to study the relationship between hypomagnesemia and the outcomes. We also performed a cumulative survival rate analysis by Kaplan-Meier curves.

resultsA total of 2,026 severe hemorrhagic stroke patients, aged over 16 and hospitalized in the ICU for more than 24 h, were enrolled. Among them, 277 (13.7%) died in the ICU, and hypomagnesemia was observed in 489 patients. Multivariable Cox regression analyses demonstrated that hypomagnesemia was related to a 28% increased risk of ICU mortality (HR 1.28, 95% CI [1.02-1.68], p = 0.035) and a 15% increased risk of mechanical ventilation use (HR 1.15, 95% CI [1.04-1.33], p = 0.010) in severe hemorrhagic stroke patients.

conclusionsOur findings suggested that hypomagnesemia is associated with increased risks of ICU mortality and mechanical ventilation use in severe hemorrhagic stroke patients. Future randomized, prospective studies are needed to elucidate the role of hypomagnesemia and explore potential interventions.
