Review in Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundSepsis is a common, time-urgent emergency that is still associated with a high mortality and morbidity rate. A strong correlation between the onset of therapy and survival has been shown. With every hour of delay, survival decreases by 7.6 %. In 2001, four treatment goals that should be performed in the first 6 h of treatment were developed. These form the basis of early goal-directed therapy (EDGT) which is accepted as the standard of treatment for sepsis in the emergency department.

objectivesMore than half of patients are admitted to the hospital by medical emergency services. Up to 40 % receive prehospital therapy with i.v. fluids and stabilization of vital signs according to the goals of EDGT. The diagnosis of sepsis is difficult if characteristic symptoms or parameters such as in the ST segment elevation myocardial infarction are lacking. However, 90 % of patients present with fever.

conclusionsBody temperature should always be assessed by paramedics. In addition, sepsis must always be considered as part of the differential diagnosis. If the suspicion cannot be ruled out, immediate therapy has to be initiated. Concerning the prehospital use of antibiotics, preliminary results of a study from the center of sepsis control and care in Jena, Germany, showed that this therapy form seems to be safe and effective, but further evaluation is necessary.
