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

Patients receiving high-dose preparation for stem cell transplantation are at risk for organ dysfunction (OD). Signs of early OD include hypoxia, mental status changes, and liver dysfunction. These early signs have not been correlated with potential cytokine mediators. We compared plasma concentrations of IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-10 in OD patients and controls. Cytokines were measured before preparation, 5 days before OD, day of OD, and 5 days after OD. TNF-alpha and IL-10 were not measurable prior to preparation. IL-10 was more likely to be measurable in OD patients than in controls 5 days prior to onset of OD (P = 0.039), on the day of OD (P = 0.023), and 5 days later (P < 0.0001). TNF-alpha was more likely to be measurable only on the day of OD (P = 0.0035). IL-6 was significantly elevated in OD patients at all time points. Patients who had measurable IL-6 on admission were 5.1 times more likely to develop OD (95% CI = 1.4-17.9; P = 0.011). Five days prior to OD for each 100 pg/ml increase in IL-6, patients were 2.75 times more likely to develop OD (95% CI = 1.3-5.8; P = 0.0087). The early elevation of IL-6 in patients who develop OD may help identify a high risk group where preventive therapies can be evaluated.
