Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Presepsin in Sepsis: A Prospective Observational Study.
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2026. 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
Background and aims: Presepsin is hypothesized to be more specific for the diagnosis of sepsis, as it is directly involved in the pathogenesis of the syndrome. Several studies have investigated the clinical validity of presepsin; however, the results have shown considerable variability. The present study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of presepsin as a biomarker for the diagnosis of sepsis. Patients and methods: This prospective observational study included 140 patients, aged 18 years and older, who presented with suspected sepsis, a quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) score ≥2, and radiological or microbiological evidence of infection. The study was conducted from April 2024 to February 2025 at a tertiary care hospital in Western India. The SOFA score and presepsin levels were measured at the time of presentation. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine the optimal presepsin cutoff value for predicting sepsis and mortality. Results: Presepsin levels were significantly higher in patients with sepsis and in those who died. They showed a strong correlation with the SOFA score ( Conclusion: Presepsin is a reliable biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis.
