This PubMed record documents an editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine titled “Fluid Resuscitation in Patients with Sepsis - For Whom the Balance Tolls.” The journal citation is N Engl J Med. 2026 Sep 3;395(9):921-922. The record lists the DOI as 10.1056/NEJMe2609856 and the PubMed identifier (PMID) as 42685324.
The entry appears on PubMed as a standard bibliographic record with full citation metadata. The page includes PubMed navigation and export functions familiar to regular users (save, email, citation-manager export formats). The PubMed landing page also shows standard federal website indicators (secure https connection and .gov domain), consistent with NCBI/NLM site presentation.
The publication type assigned to this entry is Editorial. The PubMed record explicitly states: “No abstract available.” Therefore, the PubMed entry does not provide a structured abstract, summary, or the editorial text itself.
Because no abstract is included in the PubMed record, this summary does not report any of the editorial’s arguments, recommendations, data, or conclusions. Details that would normally appear in an abstract or full text — such as key clinical points about fluid resuscitation strategies, comparative data, or practice implications for patients with sepsis — are not present in the source record and are not inferred or invented here.
The record lists two authors and their institutional affiliations:
These affiliation lines are reproduced exactly as provided in the PubMed entry. No further biographical or conflict-of-interest details are reported in the source record.
The title identifies the editorial’s focus on fluid resuscitation in patients with sepsis and uses the phrase “For Whom the Balance Tolls,” suggesting a discussion of trade-offs or risks and benefits. Beyond the title, the PubMed record contains no content from the editorial itself. Consequently, specific clinical positions, critiques of evidence, or practice recommendations that the authors may present in the NEJM editorial are not available in this source.
Because the underlying editorial text is not included in the PubMed entry, clinicians and readers should consult the original NEJM issue or the publisher’s site to review the authors’ full discussion and any cited evidence before drawing clinical conclusions.

Note on content limitations
This rewritten summary strictly reflects the contents of the cited PubMed record. The source does not include the editorial’s abstract or body text; therefore, no clinical recommendations, data points, or the authors’ specific arguments are reported here. For the editorial’s substantive clinical content regarding fluid resuscitation in sepsis, consult the NEJM full text via the DOI or journal platform.
