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

objectiveTo investigate the protective effect and possible mechanism of Xuebijing Injection on myocardial injury in patients with sepsis, and to evaluate its prognostic implications.

methodsPatients with septic myocardial injury were recruited, and were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group and control group. All patients in two groups received conventional cluster treatment, the patients in treatment group additional received Xuebijing injection dissolved in 0.9% sodium chloride injection, and the patients in control group received the same amount of 0.9% sodium chloride injection. At the beginning of treatment and 3, 7 and 10-day after treatment, laboratory indicators of cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI), N-terminal proB-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and procalcitonin (PCT) were respectively tested in venous blood. The patient's length of stay in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the mortality in 28 days were recorded.

resultsAt 3, 7 and 10-day after treatment, the improvements of cTnI, NT-proBNP and PCT in treatment group were better than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The mortality of treatment group in 28 days was not significantly different from that of control group (P > 0.05). The ICU length of stay of treatment group was shorter than that of control group (P > 0.05).

conclusionXuebijing injection could improve the levels of cTnI, NT-proBNP and PCT in patients with septic myocardial injury .and it had a protective effect on myocardial injury.
