Article in CHEST critical care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06217562 (Vasopressin for Septic Shock Pragmatic Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.

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.

Abstract

backgroundGuidelines recommend vasopressin as the preferred second-line vasopressor for treatment of septic shock. However, the optimal threshold for vasopressin initiation is unclear. RESEARCH QUESTION: Does a treatment strategy using a lower or a higher threshold for initiation of vasopressin as a secondary vasopressor decrease the incidence of 28-day mortality for patients with septic shock? STUDY DESIGN AND

methodsThe Vasopressin for Septic Shock Pragmatic (VASSPR) trial is a multicenter, open-label, cluster-randomized, multiple cluster-crossover pragmatic clinical trial being conducted in 13 hospitals in Utah and Idaho. The trial compares a strategy for septic shock management recommending initiation of fixed-dose vasopressin as a secondary vasopressor at a lower threshold (when the total dose of other vasopressors reaches 0.1 mg/kg/min norepinephrine equivalents [NEEs]) to a strategy initiating vasopressin at a higher threshold (when other vasopressors reach 0.4 mg/kg/min NEEs). All adult patients with septic shock at study hospitals are enrolled in the trial and assigned to the treatment strategy in place at the study hospital when and where they start vasopressor treatment for suspected or confirmed septic shock. Individual patient care, including adherence to the assigned vasopressin initiation strategy, occurs at the discretion of each patient's treating clinicians. The primary outcome is 28-day all-cause mortality. The key secondary outcome is renal replacement therapy-free days to day 28.

resultsThis article describes the protocol and statistical analysis plan for the conduct and analysis of the VASSPR trial.

interpretationThe VASSPR trial will provide important data to guide vasopressor management for patients with septic shock. Prespecification of the trial protocol and statistical analysis plan before completion of enrollment is important for rigorous trial conduct and reporting. CLINICAL
