Rhabdomyolysis in intensive care unit-distinctive clinical indicators and prognosis.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundRhabdomyolysis is commonly encountered in intensive care unit (ICU), yet its clinical features and prognostic indicators have not been comprehensively defined. This study aims to identify clinical characteristics and outcomes of ICU patients with rhabdomyolysis, and assess if rhabdomyolysis predicts outcomes.
methodsThis retrospective study investigated patients admitted to the ICU of Shanghai Baoshan District Wusong Central Hospital from 2022 to 2023. Clinical and laboratory indices, along with discharge outcomes, were analyzed.
resultsThe study included 151 patients, divided into Control group (CK ≤ 1000 U/L, n = 117) and RML group (CK > 1000 U/L, n = 34) groups. The RML group showed higher proportions of male gender (76.5% vs. 56.4%, p = 0.035), infection (88.2% vs. 68.4%, p = 0.022), muscle weakness (41.2% vs. 13.7%, p = 0.035), and myoglobin > 1000 U/L (55.9% vs. 14.5%, p < 0.001), but lower incidence of malignant tumors (0% vs. 17.9%, p = 0.017). The poor outcome rate (POR, the combined rate of death and cessation of treatment) was significantly higher in the RML group (52.9% vs. 33.3%, p = 0.038). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified male gender [OR, 1.120-7.147; p = 0.028], sepsis [OR, 1.234-10.949; p = 0.019], and mechanical ventilation [OR, 1.489-8.478; p = 0.004] as independent risk factors for poor outcome in ICU patients. Rhabdomyolysis was not an independent risk factor.
conclusionsICU patients with rhabdomyolysis experienced a significantly higher rate of poor outcomes. Male gender, sepsis, and mechanical ventilation were identified as independent risk factors for poor outcomes, while rhabdomyolysis itself was not found to be an independent risk factor. Prospective research is needed to validate these findings in diverse ICU populations.
