Sepsis outcomes in patients with pre-existing liver disease.
Article in Clinical and experimental hepatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aim of the study: To determine the characteristics, including the use of various diagnostic criteria, outcomes and treatment strategies in septic patients treated outside of the critical care area with pre-existing liver disease (LD). Material and methods: The study population included patients recruited into two annual 24-hour prospective point-prevalence studies on the general wards and emergency departments across all Welsh acute hospitals in 2016 and 2017. Data were collected on patient demographics, observations and SIRS, SOFA and qSOFA scores. Results: Out of 839 recruited patients, 24 (2.9%) had a past medical history of LD. 12/24 (50%) had a SIRS score ≥ 2, 21/24 (87.5%) a SOFA score ≥ 2 and 3/24 (12.5%) a qSOFA score ≥ 2. Patients with LD had 2.4 times higher odds (95% CI = 1.07-5.53, Conclusions: The 90-day mortality was greater in patients with LD than the rest of the population. Management of sepsis in LD patients poses a challenge with current therapeutic bundles being underused and of unclear significance in improving patient outcome.
