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
In order to reduce sepsis mortality, early treatment implementation and referral to the most appropriate ward (emergency department (ED) or intensive care unit (ICU) are recommended. This multicentre retrospective study aims to study the relationship between 30-day mortality and the admission mode to ICU or ED among patients with septic shock cared for by a prehospital mobile Intensive Care Unit (mobile-ICU). From May 2016 to December 2022, septic shock patients cared for by a prehospital mobile-ICU were retrospectively analysed. To assess the relationship between 30-day mortality rate and the admission mode, a multivariate logistic regression after Inverse Probability Treatment Weighting (IPTW) propensity score matching was performed. Among the 587 patients analysed, pulmonary, urinary and digestive infections were the main septic shock aetiology: 42%, 26% and 17% respectively. The overall 30-day mortality rate was 30%. Three-hundred and twenty-seven patients (58%) were admitted to ICU and 260 (42%) to the ED. On matched population, the multivariate analysis including the followings potential confounders: prehospital fluid expansion, norepinephrine administration, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, age, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, cancer history, hypertension, chronic heart failure, coronary artery disease, hospitalization in the previous 3 months, SAPS-2, management in rural area and prehospital duration, an aRR=1.05 [1.00-1.09] (p=0.025) between 30-day mortality and ED admission. Conversely, the multivariate analysis with the same confounders found aRR=0.90 [0.86-0.95] between 30-day mortality and ICU admission. This study highlighted a positive relationship between ED admission and 30-day mortality of patients in septic shock cared for by a prehospital mobile-ICU suggesting a possible negative effect of ED admission whereas a direct ICU admission may be beneficial.
