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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects of catecholamine administration on ICU patients with acute gastrointestinal injury undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV).

resultsDuring the study period, 425 patients with a median age of 60 years (interquartile range, 48-70), including 290 males (68%), received IMV during their ICU stay. AGI occurred in 287 patients, with an incidence rate of 67.5%. The most common symptom of AGI was gastric retention (50.52%). Multivariate regression analysis results showed the following as risk factors for AGI: the administration of catecholamine drugs (OR: 2.881, 95% CI 1.525 to 5.441, P = 0.001), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score (OR: 1.119, 95% CI 1.055 to 1.186, P < 0.001), Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 score (OR: 1.416, 95% CI 1.154 to 1.737, P = 0.001), duration of IMV (OR: 1.142, 95% CI 1.108 to 1.207, P < 0.001), and primary disease involving the respiratory system (OR: 2.097, 95% CI 1.179 to 3.731, P = 0.012).
