Impact of diastolic blood pressure time under range on mortality and acute kidney injury in septic patients: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundCurrent guidelines for sepsis management focus on maintaining mean arterial pressure, while the impact of low diastolic blood pressure (DBP) exposure remains unclear. This study investigated whether the time under range of DBP (DBP-TUR) is associated with clinical outcomes in septic patients who achieved conventional blood pressure targets.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study using the MIMIC-IV database, we included 12,114 adult patients with sepsis. DBP-TUR was defined as the proportion of time with DBP < 50 mmHg while maintaining systolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure > 65 mmHg during the first 48 h after ICU admission. Primary outcome was 28-day mortality, and secondary outcome was acute kidney injury (AKI).
resultsAmong the cohort, 6,192 patients (51.1%) experienced low DBP exposure. Patients were stratified into quartiles based on DBP-TUR (Q1: ≤5%, Q2: 5-15%, Q3: 15-50%, Q4: >50%). After adjusting for confounders, compared with Q1, both Q3 (OR:1.25, 95% CI:1.02-1.54) and Q4 (OR:1.27, 95% CI:1.02-1.57) showed significantly higher 28-day mortality. Similarly, AKI risk increased in Q3 (OR:1.47, 95% CI:1.14-1.91) and Q4 (OR:1.60, 95% CI:1.20-2.14). DBP-TUR demonstrated moderate predictive value for both mortality (AUC:0.73) and AKI (AUC:0.71).
conclusionLow DBP exposure, despite achieving conventional blood pressure targets, was independently associated with increased mortality and AKI risk in septic patients. Monitoring DBP-TUR might provide additional value in hemodynamic management of sepsis.
