Early Infectious Disease Consultation Is Associated With Lower Mortality in Patients With Severe Sepsis or Septic Shock Who Complete the 3-Hour Sepsis Treatment Bundle.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
objectiveSevere sepsis and septic shock (SS/SS) treatment bundles reduce mortality, and early infectious diseases (ID) consultation also improves patient outcomes. We retrospectively examined whether early ID consultation further improves outcomes in Emergency Department (ED) patients with SS/SS who complete the sepsis bundle.
methodWe included 248 adult ED patients with SS/SS who completed the 3-hour bundle. Patients with ID consultation within 12 hours of ED triage (n = 111; early ID) were compared with patients who received standard care (n = 137) for in-hospital mortality, 30-day readmission, length of hospital stay (LOS), and antibiotic management. A competing risk survival analysis model compared risks of in-hospital mortality and discharge alive between groups.
resultsIn-hospital mortality was lower in the early ID group unadjusted (24.3% vs 38.0%,
conclusionsAmong patients receiving the SS/SS bundle, early ID consultation was associated with a 40% risk reduction for in-hospital mortality. The impact of team-based care and de-escalation on SS/SS outcomes warrants further study.
