1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: According to excising findings, if the emergency management system (EMS) operation will be developed, the survival outcome of sepsis patients might improve. This study aimed to evaluate the pre-hospital associated factors of survival in sepsis patients. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients diagnosed with sepsis, coded with the Thailand emergency medical triage protocol and criteria-based dispatch symptom group 17. Information on the 30-day survival rate of patients was obtained from the electronic medical records. Pre-hospital factors associated with 30-day survival were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses and were reported using odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: 300 patients diagnosed with sepsis were enrolled. Among them, 232 (77.3%) survived within 30 days. Non-survived cases had significantly older age (p = 0.019), lower oxygen saturations (92.5% vs. 95.0%; p = 0.003), higher heart rate (p = 0.001), higher respiratory rate (p < 0.001), lower level of consciousness (p < 0.001), higher disease severity based on qSOFA score (p = 0.001), and higher need for invasive airway management (p = 0.001) and supplementary oxygen (p = 0.001). The survival rate improved by 3.5% with every 1% increase in pre-hospital oxygen saturation (adjusted OR = 1.035, 95% CI: 1.005-1.066, p = 0.020) and the survival probabilities of patients who responded to voice (adjusted OR = 0.170, 95% CI: 0.050-0.579, p = 0.005), those who responded to pain (adjusted OR = 0.130, 95% CI: 0.036-0.475, p = 0.002), and those who were unresponsive (adjusted OR = 0.086, 95% CI: 0.026-0.278, p-value < 0.001) were lower than patients who were alert. Conclusion: The 30-day survival rate of patients with sepsis managed by the EMS team was 77.3%. Pre-hospital oxygen saturation and level of consciousness were associated with the survival of patients with sepsis who were managed in the pre-hospital setting.
