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

The Stress Hyperglycemia Ratio (SHR) has emerged as a prognostic indicator associated with adverse outcomes in a variety of diseases. Nevertheless, the relationship between SHR and the prognosis of individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has yet to be clarified. This research examines the association between SHR and outcomes in COPD patients. This study employed the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) database to identify patients with COPD requiring admission to the intensive care unit, categorizing them into quartiles according to SHR levels. The outcomes assessed encompassed in-hospital mortality and ICU mortality. The analysis utilized Cox proportional hazards regression, enhanced by restricted cubic splines, to explore the association between SHR and the clinical manifestations present in patients diagnosed with COPD. The study included 1157 COPD patients. The mortality rates were 10.11% for in-hospital, and 7.09% for ICU, respectively. The analysis of Kaplan-Meier (K-M) curves revealed a noteworthy correlation between elevated SHR levels and an augmented risk of mortality in both hospital and ICU environments. Patients with COPD who were in the highest SHR index quartile were at the highest risk of dying, according to a Cox proportional hazards regression analysis (hospital, HR: 1.88,95%CI:1.09-3.25, P = 0.002; ICU: HR: 3.64, 95%CI:1.79-7.42, P < 0.001). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis revealed a U-shaped association between the SHR index and both in-hospital and ICU mortality rates. Elevated SHR levels in COPD patients are significantly linked to a higher mortality risk in both hospitalized and ICU settings. The SHR index serves as a valuable tool for assessing in-hospital outcomes in COPD patients and holds potential to aid in screening high mortality risk COPD patients.
