Association between estimated plasma volume status and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage: analysis of the MIMIC-IV database.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
backgroundThe estimated plasma volume status (ePVS) is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in certain cardiovascular disease populations. However, the relationship between ePVS and prognosis in critically ill patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (NSAH) remains unclear. This study aims to explore the association between ePVS and all-cause mortality (ACM) in NSAH patients.
methodsA total of 750 NSAH patients were included in this retrospective study. The primary outcome was 1-month ACM. A Cox proportional hazards model was constructed to examine the relationship between ePVS and ACM in critically ill NSAH patients. A restricted cubic spline model was used to assess the relationship between ePVS and the outcome.
resultsIn this patient cohort, 1-month, 3-month, and 1-year ACM rates were 21%, 25%, and 29%, respectively. After adjusting for potential confounders, we found a U-shaped relationship between ePVS and 1-month ACM, with an inflection point at 3.94. Specifically, when ePVS is below the inflection point, each unit increase in ePVS reduces the mortality risk by 56% [HR, 0.44 (95% CI 0.25, 0.76)]. However, once the inflection point is surpassed, each unit increase in ePVS increases the mortality risk by 1.8 times [HR, 2.80 (95% CI 1.58, 4.97)].
conclusionWe identified a U-shaped relationship between ePVS and ACM in critically ill patients with NSAH, suggesting both low and high ePVS levels may portend adverse outcomes. Prospective multicenter studies are warranted to validate these findings and elucidate underlying mechanisms.
