Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Septic Shock: A One-Year Observational Pilot Study.
Article in Turkish journal of anaesthesiology and reanimation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveThe negative effect of sepsis on the myocardium affects its electric functionality. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with septic shock, and the mortality rate of patients with AF versus patients that maintained sinus rhythm (SR).
methodsThis is a one-year observational prospective pilot study. It was conducted at the Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care of Pisa University. Patients with septic shock were enrolled in this study. They were divided in two groups based on the occurrence of AF while in the ICU. Data were collected at admission and after 72 hours, and the data consisted of anamnesis, vital parameters, blood results and severity score.
resultsOut of 27 patients, 9 developed AF during the first 72 hours. At admission and at 72 hours, SOFA was statistically higher in the patients with AF (p=0.012 and p=0.002, respectively). In the AF group, the overall mortality was 66.7%, whereas, it was 11.1% (p=0.006) in the patients with SR. Age, rhythm and noradrenaline dosage were univariate predictors of total mortality.
conclusionIn patients with septic shock, AF has a high incidence, and it correlated with a worse outcome. Patients with higher SOFA score are at a greater risk of developing arrhythmia.
