The revised recommendation for administering vitamin C in septic patients: the Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020.
Article in Journal of intensive care, 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
Given the available clinical evidence through the literature search when the Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock 2020 was being created, we suggested administering vitamin C to such patients. Recently, several randomized control trials have been published, some of which suggested the harmful effect of vitamin C in terms of mortality or persistent organ dysfunction. Therefore, we performed updated systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Accordingly, we revised our recommendation as "We suggest against administering vitamin C to septic patients (GRADE 2D: certainty of evidence = "very low")."
