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

Background: To investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and both in-hospital and 10-year all-cause mortality in critically ill non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients, and to evaluate the incremental value of C-reactive protein (CRP) in risk stratification. Methods: This multinational study included 7,815 critically ill NSTEMI patients from three cohorts. We first analyzed an original discovery cohort (TAMI, n = 5,010) from a Chinese tertiary hospital, then externally validated the findings in two independent US cohorts (MIMIC-IV, n = 1,208; eICU-CRD, n = 1,597). BMI was categorized according to WHO criteria, and CRP was dichotomized at 2 mg/L. Multivariable Cox regression and restricted cubic splines were used to assess mortality risks. Results: In the TAMI cohort, severe obesity (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m Conclusions: BMI exhibits a U-shaped association with mortality in critically ill NSTEMI patients. Severe obesity combined with elevated inflammation identifies a high-risk clinical profile, supporting integrated metabolic-inflammatory risk stratification.
