Sepsis among Adults Admitted to Intensive Care Unit of a Tertiary Care Centre.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Sepsis is a syndrome that starts with an infection, causes organ dysfunction, and leads to death is a global health issue in critically ill patients. While its epidemiology is well-known in high-income countries, it is poorly understood in low- and middle-income countries, including Nepal. This study aimed to find out the prevalence of sepsis among adults admitted to the intensive care unit of a tertiary care centre. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among adults admitted to the intensive care unit after obtaining ethical approval from the Ethical Review Board. Data was collected from 11 January 2022 and 29 December 2022 from hospital records. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 195 patients, the prevalence of sepsis was seen in 74 (37.95%) (31.14-44.76, 95% Confidence Interval). Septic patients had a median age of 44 (interquartile range: 33.75±60.25) years. A total of 40 (54.05%) were male. A total of 28 (37.84%) septic patients were identified with ≥2 diagnoses, while 9 (12.16%) had ≥2 comorbidities. Conclusions: The prevalence of sepsis among adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit was higher as compared to other studies done in other international studies. Keywords: intensive care units; prevalence; sepsis.
