Catecholamines in sepsis: pharmacological insights and clinical applications-a narrative review.
Review in Journal of anesthesia, analgesia and critical care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Catecholamines, essential neurotransmitters and hormones, play a critical role in the body's physiological response to stress and are pivotal in the management of various clinical conditions, particularly in critical care settings. This narrative review delves into the pharmacological properties of catecholamines, including their mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Key clinical applications of catecholamines, especially in the cardiovascular and immune systems, are highlighted, emphasizing their roles in modulating heart rate, vascular tone, and immune responses during critical conditions such as sepsis and septic shock. Additionally, the review explores catecholamines' immunomodulatory effects and their interactions with other therapeutic agents, such as corticosteroids, in the management of septic shock. Further research is suggested to optimize catecholamine usage and improve patient outcomes in critical care settings.
