Relationship between blood urea nitrogen and 28-day all-cause mortality in patients with acute pulmonary edema: a retrospective analysis of the MIMIC-IV database.

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: Acute pulmonary edema is a severe clinical syndrome with high mortality. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) levels, which indicate renal function and metabolic state, may have prognostic value in critically ill patients. However, their relationship with outcomes in acute pulmonary edema remains unclear. Objective: This study aims to investigate the association between admission BUN levels and 28-day all-cause mortality in patients with acute pulmonary edema. Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database, covering the period from 2008-2019. It included adult patients diagnosed with acute pulmonary edema. Patients were divided into four groups based on their BUN levels. Cox regression models, restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and subgroup analyses were used to assess the relationship between BUN levels and mortality. Results: A total of 1,094 patients were included in the study. Univariate Cox regression analysis revealed a positive correlation between BUN levels and 28-day mortality (HR = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01-1.02, Conclusion: Admission BUN levels predict 28-day all-cause mortality in patients with acute pulmonary edema. Clinically, BUN monitoring should be emphasized, and individualized prognostic and treatment strategies should be developed to improve outcomes.
