Factors Associated With Mortality Among Septic Hospital Ward Patients.

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
Objective: To identify factors associated with mortality among hospital ward patients identified by a dedicated sepsis response team. Patients and Methods: Patients identified between April 1, 2022 and March 31, 2025 were included. Demographic, process-of-care, and outcome variables were collected. Patients were dichotomized based on whether they expired during hospital admission and compared using descriptive statistics. Multivariable logistic regression identified factors associated with mortality. Results: A total of 1022 patients were included, of whom 110 (10.8%) expired before hospital discharge. Nonsurvivors were older (65.3 vs 60.4, Conclusion: In this population of hospital ward patients with sepsis, evidence of hypoperfusion, organ failure, and presence of comorbidities were associated with in-hospital mortality. More research is needed to delineate whether decompensation at the time of diagnosis is due to sepsis-mediated processes or underlying disease in order to identify patients who derive the most benefit from timely sepsis interventions.
