Early albumin infusion and mortality in elderly patients with sepsis based on analysis of the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database.

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
As the impact of early albumin infusion on the prognosis of elderly individuals diagnosed with sepsis remains uncertain, this study aimed to investigate this effect in elderly patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit (ICU). We identified the information of elderly patients with sepsis requiring ICU admission from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database. They were divided into hypoalbuminemia group and control group, and the primary outcome was 90-d mortality. A multivariate logistic regression model and a multivariate Cox proportional-hazards model were used to analyze the correlation between hypoalbuminemia and patient prognosis. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and log-rank test were performed to analyze the survival outcomes. Propensity score matching (PSM) was implemented to determine the precise effect of early albumin infusion on the prognosis of elderly ICU patients with sepsis, and subgroups of patients were identified to explore the factors influencing the relationship. Early hypoalbuminemia was strongly associated with an increased risk of adverse clinical outcomes in elderly patients with sepsis in the ICU. In-hospital mortality (28.6% vs. 19.1%,
