Prognostic and clinical indicators of sepsis outcomes in hospitalized patients: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundSepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency that necessitates immediate attention and intervention. Without prompt treatment, it can lead to organ failure, tissue damage, and death. This study aimed to compare potential factors influencing sepsis outcomes between two groups: patients who survived and those who died.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 189 patients admitted to the emergency department of Ganjavian Hospital in Dezful, Southwest Iran, with a primary diagnosis of sepsis between July 2023 and July 2024 were included. Clinical and laboratory data were collected for all patients. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 16. Patients were categorized into two groups based on outcomes: those discharged and those who died.
resultsThe mean age of discharged patients was 63.37 ± 19.77 years, while deceased patients had a mean age of 72.33 ± 14.30 years (p < 0.05). Among patients with urinary tract infections, 23.75% expired. Mortality rates for bacteremia and lung infections were 47.06% and 43.75%, respectively. Only 10.0% of patients with positive DIC survived. Pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Acinetobacter baumannii were significantly associated with higher mortality (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression identified cardiovascular disease (CVD) (OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.03-3.66, p = 0.04) and chronic lung disease (OR = 4.36, 95% CI: 1.02-18.95, p = 0.03) as significant predictors of mortality. Higher GCS scores and better oxygen saturation (Sato2) were associated with improved survival.
conclusionAge, level of consciousness, coagulopathy, respiratory rate, and pathogenic microorganisms are critical predictive factors in sepsis outcomes. However, a comprehensive evaluation incorporating multiple clinical and laboratory parameters is essential for accurately assessing and managing sepsis patients.
