Comparison between Capillary and Serum Lactate Levels in Predicting Short-Term Mortality of Septic Patients at the Emergency Department.
Observational study in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Sepsis is a time-dependent and life-threating condition related to macro- and micro-circulatory impairment leading to anaerobic metabolism and lactate increase. We assessed the prognostic accuracy of capillary lactates (CLs) vs. serum ones (SLs) on 48-h and 7-day mortality in patients with suspected sepsis. This observational, prospective, single-centre study was conducted between October 2021 and May 2022. Inclusion criteria were: (i) suspect of infection; (ii) qSOFA ≥ 2; (iii) age ≥ 18 years; (iv) signed informed consent. CLs were assessed with LactateProTM2
