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

backgroundAcetaminophen (APAP) is widely used in the treatment of patients after surgery, but the prognosis of patients with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (CABG-ARDS) is still unclear. This study aims to explore the role of APAP in the management of CABG related ARDS.

methodsWe collected clinical data on patients with CABG-ARDS from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database. The primary outcome was early mortality after ARDS, and the secondary outcomes were length of hospital stay and duration of mechanical ventilation (MV). Multivariate logistic regression and Cox regression models were used for statistical analysis, and inverse probability processing weighting (IPTW), overlap weighting (OW) and propensity score matching (PSM) were used to explore the robustness of the outcomes.

resultsA total of 5459 patients were enrolled in the analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the 14-day mortality in APAP group was significantly lower than that in non-APAP group (0.5% vs. 2.7%, OR = 0.301; 95% CI, 0.170-0.531; P < 0.001). The APAP group also showed a significant advantage in Cox regression analysis (0.5% vs. 2.7%, HR = 0.329; 95% CI, 0.187-0.577; P < 0.001). IPTW, OW, and PSM analyses were conducted between the two groups, and the differences remained significant. These results were consistent in 30-, 60-, and 90-day mortality analyses. Meanwhile, exposure to APAP was associated with a shorter length of hospital stay and a reduced duration of MV (P < 0.001).

conclusionThe administration of APAP was associated with reduced early mortality in patients with CABG-ARDS, as well as shorter length of hospital stay and duration of MV.
