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

There have been many technological advances improving the work up and treatment of patients in the emergency department (ED). Point of care testing (POCT) is becoming more common, especially in the time compressed clinically high-pressured environment of the emergency department. In present times, emphasis of POCT has spurred search of novel biomarkers which promise earlier and more specific detection of disease. This article reviews the role of ST2, Galectin-3 and Adrenomedullin in the acute care setting addressing the screening, diagnostic, and prognostic role of each marker for stratification of patients. Use of these markers has shown a strong correlation with early identification and efficient management in the ED.
