Article in BMJ open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04141410 (Levosimendan and Global Longitudinal Strain Assessment in Cardiogenic Shock Sepsis), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

introductionCardiogenic shock is a condition of low cardiac output that represents the end stage of a progressive deterioration of cardiac function. The main cause is ischaemic heart disease, but there are several non-ischaemic causes, including sepsis. The use of levosimendan in cardiogenic shock during sepsis is still under debate.

methodsWe are conducting an observational, single-centre, not-for-profit study enrolling patients aged 18-80 years old admitted to the intensive care unit with a diagnosis of septic shock. Patients will be monitored with the EV1000/VolumeView device (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, USA). Patients with cardiac index (CI) values <2.5 L/min/m ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The investigators declare that the study will be conducted in full compliance with international regulations (EU Directive 2016/679/EC) and national implementation (DM 15 July 1997; 211/2003; 200/2007) regarding the clinical trial and the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Study results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and conferences. Ethical approval for this study has been given by Comitato Etico Regione Toscana - Area Vasta Centro, Florence, Italy (ethical committee number: 13875_oss) on 25 May 2019 (Chairperson Professor Marco Marchi). TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04141410.
