Admission characteristics predictive of in-hospital death from hospital-acquired sepsis: A comparison to community-acquired sepsis.
Article in Journal of critical care, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeHealthcare associated (HA) sepsis is associated with increased resource utilization and mortality compared with community acquired (CA) sepsis. The purpose of this study was to identify independent predictors of in-hospital mortality from HA-sepsis. MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective study of adult patients admitted with HA or CA-sepsis. Predictors were identified using logistic regression.
resultsThere were 3917 sepsis encounters, of which 3186 were CA and 731 were HA. History of stroke (83/731, 11%) and myocardial infarction (70/731, 10%) were higher in HA than CA-sepsis (stroke: 258/3186, 8%, p = .005; myocardial infarction: 213/3186, 7%, p = .007). HA-sepsis patients required more mechanical ventilation (153/731, 21%) than CA-patients (218/3186, 7%, p < .001) and had a higher rate of vasopressor use (334/731, 46%) than CA patients (832/3186, 26%, p < .001). The HA group had longer ICU lengths of stay (LOS) than CA patients did at 9 days and 2.8 days, respectively (p < .0001). Moderate to severe liver disease (OR = 27, 95%CI 1.4, 513, p = .031) and congestive heart failure (CHF, 5.81, 95% CI 1.3, 26, p = .025) were predictive of in-hospital mortality from HA-sepsis.
conclusionsLiver disease and CHF were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality in HA-sepsis. HA-sepsis patients had increased prevalence of previous stroke, myocardial infarction, and liver disease.
