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

An impairment of cardiac function is a key feature of cardiovascular failure associated with sepsis; however, its clinical relevance is still underestimated. Recent advancements in echocardiography in patients with septic shock enable a better characterization of septic cardiomyopathy by unmasking a severe, cardiac dysfunction even in the presence of preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. The pathophysiology of septic cardiomyopathy involves a complex mixture of systemic factors and molecular, metabolic, and structural changes of the cardiomyocytes. A better understanding of these factors will enable the discovery of new therapeutic targets for urgently needed disease-modifying therapeutic interventions. To date, the cornerstone of therapeutic management lies in control of the underlying infectious process and hemodynamic stabilization. This review summarizes the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of septic cardiomyopathy, and highlights the importance of further urgently needed studies aimed at improving diagnosis and treatment for septic cardiomyopathy.
