Early peripheral perfusion index predicts 28-day outcome in patients with septic shock.
Article in World journal of emergency medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundTo investigate the prognostic value of the peripheral perfusion index (PPI) in patients with septic shock.
methodsThis prospective cohort study, conducted at the emergency intensive care unit of Peking University People's Hospital, recruited 200 patients with septic shock between January 2023 and August 2023. These patients were divided into survival (
resultsCompared to the survival group, patients in the death group were older and had more severe liver damage and coagulation dysfunction, necessitating higher norepinephrine doses and increased fluid replacement. Higher lactate levels and lower PPI levels at 0 h, 6 h, and 12 h were observed in the death group. Multivariate Cox regression identified prolonged prothrombin time (PT), decreased 6-h PPI and 12-h PPI as independent risk factors for death. The area under the curves for 6-h PPI and 12-h PPI were 0.802 (95%
conclusionPPI may have value in predicting 28-day mortality in patients with septic shock.
