Salt Based or BaLanced SolUtion-Trends Existing in Indian Intensive Care Units: A Multicenter Prospective Observational Cohort Study (SOLUTE Study).
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Fluid administration is a commonly practiced intervention in the intensive care unit (ICU) with normal saline being the preferred fluid. We sought to understand the current practice of fluid administration and choice of fluids in Indian ICUs and its effect on renal outcomes. Materials and methods: The Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM)-endorsed multicenter prospective observational study was conducted on practice of fluid administration in critically ill patients between May 1, 2020, and January 31, 2023. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis. Results: Private sector hospitals contributed 79.16% of data out of 144 ICUs. Around 961 patients belonged to the normal saline (NS) group, 672 to the Ringer's lactate (RL) group, and 891 to the balanced salt solution (BSS) group out of 2,452 patients. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were more in the BSS and NS group as compared to RL group ( Conclusion: Balanced salt solution is the preferred intravenous fluid with a safe renal profile among critically ill patients. The AKI patients had shorter hospital and ICU LOS with BSS as compared to NS. How to cite this article: Gupta S, Dixit S, Tomar DS, Zirpe K, Govil D, Choudhry D,
