Determining Predictive Power of Base Excess in Comparison with SOFA Score for Predicting Mortality in ICU Patients.
Article in Medical journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Acid-base disturbances are frequently found in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Base excess (BE) is commonly used to quantify the degree of metabolic impairment. We aimed to compare the predictive value of BE and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score for mortality in ICU patients. Methods: This prospective and observational investigation was performed on 87 ICU patients who underwent mechanical ventilation. SOFA score and acid-base variables at 6 hours of ICU admission were analyzed and compared between survivors and non-survivors. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to analyze the predictive value of BE and SOFA for mortality. Results: Mean age of patients was 63.91±5.03 years, and 60 (69%) were male. The non-survived patients had significantly higher SOFA ( Conclusion: BE is, to some extent capable of predicting mortality in ICU patients. However, the SOFA score is a more accurate and reliable parameter in comparison to BE for prediction.
