Research progress on beta-blockers in the treatment of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy: A mini review.
Review in SAGE open medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SCM), a frequent complication of septic shock with mortality exceeding 40%, arises from catecholamine-driven cardiotoxicity, sympathetic hyperactivity, and inflammation-mediated biventricular dysfunction. Short-acting β₁-blockers (esmolol, landiolol) offer a targeted therapeutic approach by reducing heart rate (target: 80-95 bpm), myocardial oxygen demand, and proinflammatory cytokines while improving diastolic perfusion-leveraging ultra-short half-lives (t₁/₂ = 4-9 min) for rapid reversibility during instability. Clinical evidence remains divergent: a landmark single-center RCT demonstrated significant 28-day mortality reduction (49.4% vs 80.5%;
