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

objectivesTo provide evidence of the clinical efficacy of Xuebijing (XBJ) on blood coagulation in patients with sepsis.

methodsWe conducted this meta-analysis in The People's Hospital of Liaoning Province, Shenyang, China between December 2013 and May 2014. We searched a number of databases for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published before December 2013 using the keywords 'Xuebijing', 'coagulation' and 'sepsis'. Statistical analysis was performed with Review Manager 5.2 from the Cochrane Collaboration.

resultsFourteen RCTs involving 867 patients were included. Compared with placebo, XBJ injection significantly improved platelets (mean differences [MD] = 42.14, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 22.42 - 61.86, p<0.00001), shortened the activated partial thromboplastin time (MD = -4.81, 95% CI: -7.86 - [-1.76], p=0.002), shortened the prothrombin time (MD = -2.33, 95% CI: -4.15 - [-0.51], p=0.01), and shortened the thrombin time (MD = -2.05, 95% CI: -3.52 - [-0.58], p=0.006). However, no significant difference was found between the XBJ injection and the placebo group for fibrinogen (MD = 0.21, 95% CI: -0.38 - 0.81, p=0.48).

conclusionXuebijing injection may improve coagulopathy in patients with sepsis. High-quality and large sample clinical trials are needed for confirmation.
