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

objectiveThis study investigated the predictive value of a decrease in monocyte HLA-DR expression as an early marker for postoperative SIRS and septic complications. We hypothesized that decreased HLA-DR levels in the first 24 h after cardiac surgery is not related to postoperative SIRS/sepsis. We also compared HLA-DR levels of patients with postoperative complications to those with an uncomplicated course. DESIGN AND

settingProspective observational study in a tertiary care postoperative intensive care unit. PATIENTS: Eighty five consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery. MEASUREMENTS AND

resultsExpression of HLA-DR on monocytes was analyzed by flow cytometry using a new quantitative and well standardized technique. Arterial blood samples were collected before induction of anesthesia, immediately after admission to the ICU, and on the first postoperative day. Postoperative HLA-DR expression was significantly decreased in all patients. There were no significant differences in HLA-DR expression during the first 24 h after surgery in patients with uncomplicated course and those developing SIRS or septic complications.

conclusionsIn patients undergoing cardiac surgery the monitoring of pre- and immediate postoperative HLA-DR levels during the first 24 h does not help to predict increased risk for postoperative SIRS/sepsis or infectious complications.
