Serum phosphate and 28-day mortality in adult sepsis with E.Coli infection: A critical care database study.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveIn this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between serum phosphate and clinical outcomes in sepsis with E.Coli infection based on a public database in order to help physicians do individualized medical decisions.
methodsWe performed this retrospective study based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV(MIMIC-IV) database (https://mimic.mit.edu/iv/). All the patients were hospitalized and serum phosphate was measured in 24 hours after hospitalization. E.Coli infection was confirmed by the positive blood culture of E.Coli in the database. Three models were utilized to investigate the relationship between serum phosphate and mortality in sepsis as follows: crude model (adjusted for none), model I (adjusted for age and gender) and model II (adjusted for all potential confounders). The smooth fitting curve was performed by the generalized additive model.
results421 adult sepsis patients with E.Coli infection were included. The 28-day mortality was 10.69%(n=45). The median age was 70 and the proportion of males was 47.51%(n=200). The smooth fitting curve showed that the relationship between serum phosphate and 28-day mortality in sepsis with E.Coli infection was positive. When serum phosphate >2.1mg/dl, the relationship was significantly positive (OR=1.55, 95%CI:1.01-2.36, P=0.043).
conclusionThe positive relationship between serum phosphate and 28-day mortality in adult sepsis patients with E.Coli infection was found based on MIMIC-IV database.
