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

OBJECTIVE AND

designResistin and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) are upregulated in circulating leucocytes in sepsis, but the significance of this is uncertain. We evaluated associations between Resistin and NGAL with endothelial cell activation and clinical outcomes in a prospective observational study in the Emergency Department (ED).

methodsSerum levels of Resistin, NGAL, inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-10) and soluble endothelial adhesion molecules (VCAM-1, ICAM-1) were measured at defined time points up to 24 h. Patterns and relationships between markers were investigated using linear mixed regression models. Predictive values for clinical outcomes for markers at enrollment were assessed by logistic regression and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves.

results186 participants (89 septic-shock, 69 sepsis, 28 uncomplicated infection) were compared with 29 healthy controls. Median Resistin and NGAL were higher in uncomplicated infection compared to controls, and in septic shock compared to non-shock sepsis. Resistin and NGAL correlated with IL-6 and IL-10, with VCAM-1 and ICAM-1, and with organ failure. Resistin and NGAL were associated with septic shock but had limited predictive utility for mortality.

conclusionResistin and NGAL correlate with expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules in sepsis. Further evaluation of the role of Resistin and NGAL in sepsis pathogenesis is warranted.
