Arterial catheterization and in-hospital mortality in sepsis: a propensity score-matched study.
Observational study in BMC anesthesiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundDespite the extensive use of arterial catheterization (AC), clinical effectiveness of AC to alter the outcomes among patients with sepsis and septic shock has not been evaluated. The purpose of this study is to examine the association between the use of AC and in-hospital mortality in septic patients.
methodsAdult patients with sepsis from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care database were screened to conduct this retrospective observational study. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to estimate the relationship between arterial catheterization (AC) and in-hospital mortality. Multivariable logistic regression and inverse probability of treatment weighing (IPTW) were used to validate our findings.
resultsA total of 14,509 septic patients without shock and 4,078 septic shock patients were identified. 3,489 pairs in sepsis patients without shock and 589 pairs in septic shock patients were yielded respectively after PSM. For patients in the sepsis without shock group, AC placement was associated with increased in-hospital mortality (OR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.17-1.54; p < 0.001). In the septic shock group, there was no significant difference in hospital mortality between AC group and non-AC group. The results of logistic regression and propensity score IPTW model support our findings.
conclusionsIn hemodynamically stable septic patients, AC is independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality, while in patients with septic shock, AC was not associated with improvements in hospital mortality.
