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
Background: Many ICU survivors experience post-ICU physical, cognitive, or mental impairments. In ICU survivors with solid malignancies, post-ICU impairments can impede further cancer treatments and negatively impact their outcomes. This study aimed to investigate post-ICU mortalities and their risk factors at ICU discharge in ICU survivors with solid malignancies. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, adult patients with solid malignancies who were unexpectedly admitted to the medical ICU of a tertiary hospital between 2016 and 2022 and survived to ICU discharge were included. Data at ICU discharge were collected from electronic medical records. In-hospital and 1-year mortality and their risk factors were analyzed. Results: Of the 708 ICU survivors, 25.1% died in the hospital, and 61% died within one year. At ICU discharge, 20.9% had delirium, 3.8% had coma, and 80.6% had impaired mobility. Respiratory support, including bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), or other oxygen therapies was used in 88.7% of patients. Delirium (adjusted OR 1.73; 95% CI 1.04-2.87; p = 0.035), coma (adjusted OR 5.63; 95% CI 2.09-16.17; p < 0.001), limited mobility (adjusted OR 2.41; 95% CI 1.22-5.14; p = 0.015), and use of BiPAP (adjusted OR 21.63; 95% CI 5.36-99.57; p < 0.001) or HFNC (adjusted OR 7.08; 95% CI 2.45-23.99; p < 0.001) were independently associated with in-hospital mortality. One-year survival was significantly lower in patients with delirium (35%, p < 0.001), coma (26%, p < 0.001), limited mobility (37%, p = 0.003), or those receiving respiratory support at ICU discharge (35%, p < 0.001). Conclusion: A considerable portion of ICU survivors with solid malignancies died in the hospital or within one year after ICU discharge in our study. Cognitive, mobility, and pulmonary impairments at ICU discharge were significant risk factors for both in-hospital and long-term mortality.
