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

Septic shock is characterized by a collapse of physiological circulatory regulation with profound vasoplegia, relative vasopressor insufficiency, and frequently concomitant myocardial dysfunction. In this review, we first outline the physiological roles and interactions of the three key endogenous vasopressor systems-the sympathetic nervous system/noradrenaline, arginine vasopressin, and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system-in maintaining blood pressure, organ perfusion, and intravascular volume. We then summarize the main mechanisms of septic vasoplegia. On this basis, we present current recommendations from the 2026 Surviving Sepsis Campaign and the 2025 update of the German S3 guideline on sepsis regarding the use of noradrenaline as a first-line vasopressor and vasopressin as add-on therapy, adrenaline/dobutamine in the setting of cardiac dysfunction, and corticosteroids in refractory shock. Finally, we emphasize the close interdependence of vasopressor therapy and fluid management.
