Prognostic impact of hypernatremia for septic shock patients in the intensive care unit.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2025. 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
backgroundHypernatremia represents a significant electrolyte imbalance associated with numerous adverse outcomes, particularly in cases of intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired hypernatremia (IAH). Nevertheless, its relevance in patients with septic shock remains uncertain.
aimTo identify independent risk factors and their predictive efficacy for IAH to improve outcomes in patients with septic shock.
methodsIn the present retrospective single-center study, a cohort of 157 septic shock patients with concurrent hypernatremia in the ICU at The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, between August 1, 2018, and May 31, 2023, were analyzed. Patients were categorized based on the timing of hypernatremia occurrence into the IAH group (
resultsIn the present study, there was a significant association between the high serum sodium concentrations, excessive persistent inflammation, immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome and chronic critical illness, while rapid recovery had an apparent association with normonatremia. Moreover, multivariable analyses revealed the following independent risk factors for IAH: Total urinary output over the preceding three days [odds ratio (OR) = 1.09; 95%CI: 1.02-1.17;
conclusionThe present findings illustrate that elevated serum sodium level was significantly associated with a poor prognosis in septic shock patients in the ICU. It is highly recommended that hypernatremia be considered a potentially important prognostic indicator for the outcome of septic shock.
