1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background and aim: Sepsis is a major health problem that causes the death of the majority of those affected. Early determination of mortality is essential to provide timely and adequate interventions. We investigated the efficacy of various prognostic indicators for the prediction of mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) sepsis patients. Patients and methods: Sepsis patients admitted to the ICU of our hospital between March 15, 2023 and January 01, 2024, were included in this study. These were divided into two groups: Survivors and nonsurvivors. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of the groups were compared and their efficacy in predicting mortality was investigated. Results: Of the 115 patients in our study, 58 (50.4%) were in the nonsurvivor group and 57 (49.6%) were in the survivor group. Among the 16 different prognostic indicators investigated, the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) was found to have the highest diagnostic power (AUC = 0.704, 95% CI: 0.612-0.786; Conclusion: Our study showed that PNI and UAR indicators, when used together, may be a useful tool in the assessment of mortality risk in ICU sepsis patients.
