Balancing Precision and Practicality: SOFA
Article in Maedica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sepsis is a complex and multifaceted condition that remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) scores are widely used to predict sepsis outcomes, but their utility varies depending on the clinical setting. This narrative review compares the predictive validity, sensitivity and specificity of SOFA and qSOFA, as well as other markers such as serum lactate and SIRS, across different healthcare environments. We conducted a comprehensive literature search of articles published over the last 10 years, focusing on studies that provided full-text access. Our analysis highlights the superior predictive performance of SOFA within intensive care units and the practical advantages of qSOFA in emergency departments. Additionally, this study examines the limitations of these scores and discusses the impact of the 2016 Sepsis-3 definition changes. By synthesizing data from diverse studies, we aimed to provide a thorough understanding of the current landscape of sepsis diagnosis and management, offering insights into how these tools can be optimized to improve patient outcomes.
