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

objectiveTo evaluate the predictive value of the Braden scale and laboratory indicators for oral mucosal pressure injury (OMPI) in patients admitted to the Emergency Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 238 intubated patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. Patients were divided into a training set (n = 166) and a validation set (n = 72). The training set was further classified into OMPI (n = 67) and non-OMPI (n = 99) groups. Clinical data were compared between the two groups, and a logistic regression model was constructed to develop a predictive nomogram. Model performance was assessed using discrimination and calibration metrics, and internal validation was performed with the validation cohort.

resultsThe training and validation sets were comparable. Significant predictors of OMPI included Braden scale score (P < 0.001), ICU length of stay (P < 0.001), intubation duration (P = 0.039), and hemoglobin (P < 0.001). Logistic regression identified Braden scale, intubation duration, hemoglobin, and hematocrit as independent risk factors.

conclusionThe combination of Braden scale score, hemoglobin, and hematocrit demonstrated good predictive value for OMPI in EICU patients.
