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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of intravenous hydrocortisone, ascorbic acid, and thiamine (HAT) combination therapy in complicated intraabdominal infection (cIAI) patients with septic shock.

methodsThis was a single-center, retrospective before-after clinical study comparing clinical outcomes of cIAI patients with septic shock treated with HAT in a surgical intensive care unit (ICU). Delta modified sequential organ failure assessment (mSOFA) scores were evaluated to assess recovery of organ dysfunction. Additional outcomes included procalcitonin level change, daily vasopressor dosage, mean number of days free of mechanical ventilation in 28 days, and renal replacement therapy days.

resultsThe delta mSOFA score (ICU admission mSOFA score minus 7th-day mSOFA score) was significantly higher in the HAT group than in the control group on the 7th day (2.30

conclusionIn our study of cIAI in patients with septic shock, administration of HAT therapy may improve the recovery from organ dysfunction.
