Association between endothelial activation and stress index and all-cause mortality risk in sepsis patients: a retrospective cohort analysis utilizing the MIMIC-IV database.
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 9 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
backgroundThe Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX) has recently gained attention as an emerging indicator of endothelial injury, which significantly contributes to the progression of sepsis. Nevertheless, the association between EASIX levels and mortality outcomes in sepsis has yet to be fully clarified. This study explored the clinical significance of EASIX in septic patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).
methodsData of sepsis patients were acquired from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) database and analyzed. Participants were categorized into three groups according to their log
resultsA total of 8829 individuals diagnosed with sepsis were included in this study. Elevated log
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that EASIX is independently and positively associated with mortality in patients with sepsis. Elevated EASIX levels were correlated with increased disease severity and poorer clinical outcomes, suggesting its potential utility as a risk stratification indicator in critical care.
