Risk factors associated with outcomes of critically ill patients: Complications in an intensive care unit.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: The intensive care unit (ICU) is a setting where critically ill and high-risk patients undergo intensive therapy under continuous monitoring. Throughout their stay, patients undergo multiple tests and a range of medical and surgical procedures, with each case presenting various risk factors and complications. The study sought to evaluate risk factors in ICUs and identify those that present the greatest risk. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among ICU patients with risk factors who developed complications during their stay. Forty-seven patients of diverse ages and genders were admitted to the ICU. The analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS 26. Results: Analysis of the patient data regarding hospital stay and discharge conditions indicated no statistically significant difference ( Conclusions: A prolonged hospital stay correlates with elevated mortality rates, increased infection risk, and a higher incidence of complications. The past medical history and fluid balance of each patient are essential factors in identifying the most appropriate therapeutic strategy.
