Metformin Affects Serum Lactate Levels in Predicting Mortality of Patients with Sepsis and Bacteremia.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study determined if the use of metformin affected the prognostic value of hyperlactatemia in predicting 28-day mortality among patients with sepsis and bacteremia. We enrolled adult diabetic patients with sepsis and bacteremia. Of 590 patients, 162 and 162 metformin users and nonusers, respectively, were selected in propensity matching. The mean serum lactate levels in metformin users were higher than those in nonusers (4.7 vs. 3.9 mmol/L,
