The Physiology, Pathophysiology, and Clinical Implications of Fluid Resuscitation in Critically Ill Patients.
Review in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
One of the most common interventions in the ED and ICU to restore physiologic homeostasis is fluid administration. It is essential for the intensivists and ED physicians to be aware of the physiological characteristics of different fluids and the potential harm associated with their use. In this article, we explore the physiology and pathophysiology of fluid administration in humans, emphasizing how fluid administration can alter acid-base balance, perfusion, osmotic and oncotic pressures, immunologic and inflammatory responses, and hemodynamics. We also discuss fluid resuscitation strategies across common clinical scenarios, such as septic shock, diabetic ketoacidosis, rhabdomyolysis, acute pancreatitis, and acute brain injury. The most recent guidelines, clinical trials, and observational studies on fluid resuscitation were discussed and critically analyzed. We also discussed fluid management in high-risk populations, such as patients with end-stage renal disease or congestive heart failure, who are particularly susceptible to hypervolemia.
