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

We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of male and female patients with sepsis and to investigate their potential sex-specific differences in the prognostic weight. Retrospective analysis, including all patients with sepsis admitted to the Emergency Department High-Dependency Unit, between June 2008 and October 2025. Clinical data were collected using a standardized template. The endpoints were day-7 and day-28 mortality rates. The study population included 1527 patients, with a mean age of 74 ± 13 years, and female sex comprising 44%. Women were older (77 ± 13 vs. 73 ± 13 yrs,
