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

backgroundPolymyxin B-immobilized fiber (PMX-F) columns are used as therapeutic interventions for septic shock. The clinical efficacy has been reported for 2-h applications, but their ability to adsorb endotoxin over longer treatments has not been fully elucidated. We hypothesized that PMX-F columns are capable of endotoxin removal for more than 2 h.

methodWe designed closed circuits incorporating either a PMX-F column with an 8.5-mL priming volume (PMX-01R) or a sham-control column, and used inactivated fetal bovine serum as the circulating perfusate. Endotoxin was continuously injected at a fixed rate for 24 h, and perfusate endotoxin concentrations were measured at fixed time points. PMX-01R endotoxin adsorption was calculated from the difference in the endotoxin concentrations.

resultsPMX-01R endotoxin adsorption increased continuously in a virtually linear manner.

conclusionsThe PMX-01R column showed sustained endotoxin adsorption for at least 24 h. This indicated that PMX-F columns would be capable of clinical endotoxin removal for 24 h.
