Observational Analysis of Point-of-Care Lactate Plus™ Meter in Preclinical Trauma Models.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 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/
objectivesBlood lactate concentration is often used to assess systemic hypoperfusion, tissue hypoxia, and sepsis in trauma patients and serves as a prognostic indicator and marker of response to therapy. Point-of-care (POC) devices provide rapid lactate measurements with a single drop of blood. In this study, lactate values from whole blood, measured with two POC devices, Abbott i-STAT
methodsAn observational analysis of 760 blood samples from four preclinical trauma animal models was performed. Lactate was measured simultaneously with two POC devices (i-STAT
resultsThe Spearman correlation was 0.9180 (95% CI 0.9056 to 0.9288) for i-STAT
conclusionsThe observed similarity in performance between the two devices suggests that both are capable of reliably measuring lactate levels in a trauma situation. The LA Plus™ meter provides fast results with only one drop of blood. This study supports the prehospital use of POC devices.
