Vitamin C as a treatment for organ failure in sepsis.
Review in European journal of medical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Exogenous vitamin C supplementation is a potential therapeutic option for the treatment of multi-organ dysfunction in sepsis due to the significantly lower levels of vitamin C in the circulating blood of sepsis patients compared to healthy subjects and the importance of vitamin C in many of the physiological processes of sepsis. Vitamin C may influence the function of numerous organs and systems, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, and immune defences, by reducing oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammatory factor surges, regulating the synthesis of various mediators and hormones, and enhancing immune cell function. With the development of multiple clinical randomized controlled trials, the outcomes of vitamin C treatment for critically ill patients have been discussed anew. This review's objectives are to provide an overview of how vitamin C affects various organ functions in sepsis and to illustrate how it affects each organ. Understanding the pharmacological mechanism of vitamin C and the organ damage caused by sepsis may help to clarify the conditions and clinical applications of vitamin C.
