Central venous pressure value can assist in adjusting norepinephrine dosage after the initial resuscitation of septic shock.

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
backgroundNew definitions for sepsis and septic shock (Sepsis-3) were published, but the strategy to adjust vasopressors after the initial guidelines is still unclear. We conducted a retrospective observational study to explore dosing strategy of norepinephrine (NE).
methodsA retrospective observational study in the 15-bed mixed intensive care unit of a tertiary care university hospital. The study was performed on septic shock patients after 30 mL/kg fluid resuscitation and mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels reached >65 mmHg requiring NE. We divided patients into NE dosage increase and decrease groups, and collected hemodynamic and tissue perfusion parameters before (T1) and after (T2) adjusting NE dosage.
resultsIn both NE increase and decrease groups, central venous pressure (CVP) and pressure difference between usual MAP and MAP (dMAP) at the T1 time point were associated with lactate clearance. In groups LC HM (CVP <10 mmHg, dMAP > 0 mmHg) and HC HM (CVP ≥ 10 mmHg, dMAP > 0 mmHg), decrease in NE dosage decreased lactate level, while in group HC LM (CVP ≥ 10 mmHg, dMAP ≤ 0 mmHg), both increase and decrease in NE dosage led to increase lactate level.
conclusionsAfter patients with septic shock (Sepsis-3) resuscitated to reach the initial recovery target goals, combination of CVP and MAP refer to usual levels can help doctors make the next decision to make the correct choice of increase NE dosage or decrease NE dosage.
