Multimodal assessment of peripheral perfusion in critically ill patients: a pilot study.
Article in Annals of intensive care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundImpaired peripheral perfusion is linked to poor outcomes in critically ill patients, but the relationships among common bedside assessment tools remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate whether these parameters provide overlapping or complementary prognostic information across ICU subgroups.
methodsAdult ICU patients with an expected stay ≥ 3 days were included. On day 1, six peripheral perfusion parameters were simultaneously measured: Peripheral Perfusion Index (PPI), Mottling Score (MS), Capillary Refill Time (CRT), central-to-peripheral temperature gradient (ΔT), Skin Blood Flow at basal temperature (SBF
resultsFifty-five patients were included (median age 64; 65.5% male). Circulatory shock (36.4%) was the leading admission cause, followed by acute brain injury (ABI; 29.1%) and acute respiratory failure (ARF; 25.4%). Strong correlations were found between PPI, CRT, SBF
conclusionsMost bedside peripheral perfusion parameters were strongly interrelated, particularly PPI, SBF
