Evaluation of prognostic factors for mortality in cancer patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit: systematic review protocol.
Article in Critical care science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
introductionThis systematic review outlines a comprehensive approach to identify and analyze prognostic factors associated with mortality in adult cancer patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit. The review will focus on all-cause 28-day mortality, and where not available, we will use 30-day, intensive care unit, or in-hospital mortality. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We present a protocol for the systematic review of prognostic factors for mortality in adult cancer patients with sepsis managed in the intensive care unit. Our primary outcome is 28-day mortality, and where not available, we will use 30-day, intensive care unit, or in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcome is the global mortality incidence. Studies on the basis of the population (sepsis and neoplasms), prognostic study methods and outcome of interest (mortality) will be included. We will search the following databases: Medline, PubMed, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Bireme-BVS, until April 5, 2024. The risk of bias will be assessed using the QUIPS tool. A meta-analysis will be conducted where possible to generate pooled estimates for identified prognostic factors. Two authors will independently assess the risk of bias in each study using the Quality in Prognostic Studies tool. The GRADE approach will be employed to evaluate the overall quality of evidence and the strength of the recommendations. Findings will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal. This review aims to provide clinicians with valuable insights into factors influencing mortality risk in this high-risk population, ultimately informing clinical decision-making and improving patient outcomes. ETHICS AND SOCIALIZATION: The results of this review will be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Does not require ethical approval.
