1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: Sepsis is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome, and identification of its subphenotypes is essential. We aimed to investigate the correlation between the different trajectories of temperature and outcomes in septic patients. Patients and methods: This was a retrospective cohort study that included sepsis patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary care hospital. Patients' temperature data were collected during the first 48 h after ICU admission, and patients' temperature trajectories were identified using growth-based trajectory modeling (GBTM). A multivariable logistic regression model was performed to assess the independent association of clinical outcomes. External validation was conducted using the MIMIC-IV database. Results: A total of 312 patients with sepsis were included. Four temperature trajectories were identified: hypothermia group ( Conclusion: This study used longitudinal body temperature data to identify the subphenotypes of sepsis, with significant variability in in-hospital mortality and HA-BSI. A better understanding of the temperature trajectory may be helpful in identifying deteriorating septic patients in advance.
