Association between lactate to hematocrit ratio and 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with sepsis: a retrospective analysis of the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Background: The lactate to hematocrit ratio (LHR) has not been assessed for predicting all-cause death in sepsis patients. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between LHR and 30-day all-cause mortality in sepsis patients. Methods: This retrospective study used the data from Medical information mart for intensive care IV (MIMIC-IV, version 2.0). Our study focused on adult sepsis patients who were initially hospitalized in the Intensive care unit (ICU). The prognostic significance of admission LHR for 30-day all-cause mortality was evaluated using a multivariate Cox regression model, ROC curve analysis, Kaplan-Meier curves, and subgroup analyses. Results: A total of 3,829 sepsis patients participated in this study. Among the cohort, 8.5% of individuals died within of 30 days ( Conclusion: LHR is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in sepsis patients after admission, with superior predictive ability compared to blood lactate or hematocrit alone.
