Post-Sepsis Outcomes: Risk Factors for 90-Day Mortality and Infection Site-Pathogen Similarity in Recurrent Sepsis.
Article in Turkish journal of anaesthesiology and reanimation, 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
Aim: Post-sepsis outcomes remain poorly defined, with recurrent infections and late mortality posing significant clinical challenges. To identify clinical and laboratory predictors of 90-day post-sepsis mortality and to evaluate infection site and pathogen similarity in recurrent sepsis. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 300 adult patients hospitalized with sepsis or septic shock at a tertiary care center (2018-2022). Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and microbiological data were analyzed. Multivariate bootstrap logistic regression identified independent predictors of mortality, and receiver operating characteristic analysis assessed diagnostic performance. Recurrent episodes were examined for infection site and for microbial concordance with the index hospitalization. Results: Of 183 discharged patients, 60 (32.8%) died within 90 days. Non-survivors were older, had higher Charlson Comorbidity Index scores, had longer intensive care unit (ICU) stays, had lower albumin and procalcitonin levels, and were less likely to achieve microbiological clearance by day 7. In multivariate analysis, only hypoalbuminemia independently predicted mortality (P=0.012). Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed the highest area under the curve for 1/procalcitonin (0.694), followed by age (0.665) and 1/albumin (0.647). Among recurrent sepsis cases, 55.9% had infections at the same site, but identical pathogens were detected in only 5.9%. Conclusion: Advanced age, comorbidity burden, prolonged ICU stay, delayed microbiological response, and hypoalbuminemia are associated with increased 90-day post-sepsis mortality. Although pathogen concordance was uncommon, a low culture yield indicates that some recurrent episodes may be relapses caused by undetected similar pathogens. When culture-negative episodes are also considered, the true similarity rate between initial and recurrent infections is likely even higher.
