Non-lactate strong ion difference: a clearer picture.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeThe recommended method for elucidating the effects of strong ions other than lactate on acid-base balance is to calculate the non-lactate strong ion difference (SIDnl). A relationship between HCO3 (-) and SIDnl in hyperchloremic patients has already been demonstrated; in the present study, the relationships between SIDnl, the apparent strong ion difference (SIDa), and mortality at intensive care unit (ICU) admission were investigated.
methodsIn our two-center study, 2691 patients admitted to the ICU were retrospectively evaluated, including 1069 critically ill patients. These patients were divided into three subgroups according to their SIDnl levels at admission to the ICU: low (<38 mmol L(-1)), normal (38-40 mmol L(-1)), and high (>40 mmol L(-1)). Patient age, gender, diagnosis, blood gas values, length of ICU stay, and mortality were recorded.
resultsThe low-SIDnl group included 768 patients (71.8 %), the normal-SIDnl group consisted of 127 patients (11.9 %), and the high-SIDnl group contained 174 patients (16.3 %). There was no significant difference in lactate levels among the SIDnl groups (p = 0.635). In a multivariate logistic regression model, likelihood of mortality was increased 1.24-fold (1.20-1.28), 2.56-fold (1.61-4.08) and 2.55-fold (1.003-6.47) by APACHE II, lactate level ≥2mmol L(-) and low SIDnl (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.049, respectively).
conclusionsSIDnl can be used to determine the effects of strong ions other than lactate on SIDa values and acid-base balance. Furthermore, a low SIDnl at ICU admission can be a prognostic indicator of mortality.
