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

Investigations on survival of patients with hepatitis B virus related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) are sparse and urgently needed. The current study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of circulating cell death biomarkers (M30-anigen, M65-antigen and HMGB1) for HBV ACLF. In this prospective study (2/2013-8/2014), 94 patients including 54 HBV-ACLF and 40 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients were recruited. 40 healthy controls (HC) were also recruited. HBV-ACLF were followed up for 3 months for short-term mortality. All three biomarkers were significantly elevated in HBV-ACLF compared with CHB or HC. M30- and M65-antigens could significantly discriminate between non-survivors and survivors in HBV-ACLF. However, HMGB1 showed no prognostic value. By Cox regression analysis, M30- and M65-antigens and MELD were identified as independent predictors for short-term mortality. A novel prognostic model, MELD-CD (MELD-cell death) was established based on the multivariate results. The adjusted Harrell's C-index of MELD-CD was 0.86 (P < 0.001) and was significantly higher (P < 0.001 for all) than the currently used models, MELD (C-index, 0.71, P < 0.001), MELD-NA (0.67, P < 0.001), CTPs (0.61, P < 0.05). Dynamic analyses further confirmed the prognostic utility of M30- and M65-antigen. Future studies are warranted to validate the results.
