Physicians' knowledge and sepsis guide implementation in tertiary care hospitals in China.
Article in BMC medical education, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThis study was designed to investigate the extent to which physicians involved in sepsis management understand and adopt sepsis guidelines in clinical practice. The overarching aim of this study was to generate ideas for developing more effective training methods to help physicians apply the guidelines in patient management.
methodsPhysicians working in a tertiary care hospital, primarily in the emergency and critical care departments, were recruited into the survey. They were asked to fill questionnaires which were designed to collect sepsis score, diagnostic indicators, fluid resuscitation, antibiotics choice, access to knowledge and training, as well as implementation of sepsis guidelines in clinical diagnosis and treatment.
resultsOverall, the response rate was 625/661 (94.5%). The investigate shows the basic information of all physicians who participated in the answer sheet, including their work department, professional title and whether their hospital was a teaching hospital. Significant differences were identified among the physicians in terms of method of acquiring sepsis guidelines, the impact of study guidelines on clinical diagnosis and treatment, efficiency of training methods, cognition of fluid resuscitation in patients with sepsis, the cognition of sepsis rehydration principles, selection of antibiotics for patients with sepsis, the basis for antibiotic selection, among other variables.
conclusionAlthough majority of physicians involved in tertiary care hospital understand the contents of sepsis-3 guidelines, the clinical implementation of the guidelines in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with sepsis is highly heterogeneous. Thus, there is need to develop standardized training for physicians involved in sepsis diagnosis and treatment.
