Sepsis mortality and ICU length of stay after the implementation of an intensive care team in the emergency department.
Article in Internal and emergency medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07464054 (Inflammatory and Nutritional Biomarkers Versus Clinical Scores in Predicting Mortality and Severity in Sepsis Patients), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Emergency department patient boarding is associated with hospital mortality and increased hospital length of stay. The objective of the present study is to describe the impact of deploying an Intensive Care team in the ED and its association with sepsis mortality and ICU length of stay. Patients admitted to ICU through the ED with an ICD-10 CM diagnosis of sepsis were included. Preintervention and postintervention phases included 4 and 15 months, respectively. Sepsis time zero, SEP-1 compliance, and lag time from time zero to antibiotic administration were compared. Outcomes of interest were mortality and ICU LOS. 1021 septic patients were included. Sixty-six percent fulfilled compliance with 3 h SEP-1 bundle. Lag time from time zero to antibiotic administration was 75 min. Multivariate analysis showed no association between ICU team in the ED and hospital mortality (Log OR 0.94, CI 0.67-1.34; p = 0.73). The ICU team in the ED was associated with prolonged ICU LOS (Log OR 1.21, CI 1.13-1.30; p < 0.01). Septic shock and ED boarding time were associated with prolonged ICU LOS. Compliance with SEP-1 bundle was associated with its reduction. Implementation of an ICU team in the ED for the treatment of septic patients during high volume hospitalizations is not associated with a reduction of mortality or ICU LOS.
