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

This retrospective and a single-center study evaluated the prognostic value of the maximum serum creatinine value (maxCr) and the maximum serum creatinine growth rate (Vmax) after paraquat (PQ) ingestion. One hundred and seventy-one patients with PQ poisoning were treated with a uniform protocol. Demographic variables, clinical manifestations, relevant laboratory data, maxCr and Vmax of all patients were recorded and calculated. The time after PQ ingestion of maxCr and Vmax were also recorded. Vmax and MaxCr exhibited statistically significant differences between the survivor (n = 53) and death (n = 118) groups. Vmax appeared earlier in the death group than the survivor group. Regard to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, Vmax had an AUC of 0.861 (95% CI, 0.801-0.921) and the optimal cut-off value of 6.21 μmol/(L·h) (sensitivity, 76.3%; specificity, 81.1%). MaxCr had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.821 (95% CI, 0.752-0.889) and the optimal cut-off value of 225.5 µmol/L (sensitivity, 82.2%; specificity, 67.9%). The comparison of the AUC in the two parameters showed no significant difference, but Vmax appeared earlier than maxCr. Based on binary logistic regression analysis, MaxCr and Vmax both showed strong predictive powers for evaluating the prognosis of acute PQ poisoning patients.
