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

backgroundDisseminated avascular coagulation (DIC) is the main cause of death among patients with sepsis. In particular, low platelet count is predictive of poor outcome. However, the significance of platelet activation in patients with sepsis-related DIC is poorly understood. To determine the characteristics of platelet-related abnormality in patients with sepsis-related DIC, we assessed the expression levels of several biomarkers.

methodsPlasma levels of biomarkers, including cytokines, chemokines, soluble selectins, platelet-derived microparticles (PDMPs), soluble vascular adhesion molecule 1, and high mobility group box protein 1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at baseline and after 4, 7, 14, and 21 days of DIC treatment.

resultsDifferences in platelet activation and in the elevation of activated platelet-related PDMPs and of soluble P-selectin were seen between patients suffering from sepsis and hematologic malignancy with DIC. In addition, the elevation of interleukin (IL)-6 and thrombopoietin (TPO) was significant in sepsis patients with DIC. Furthermore, IL-6 and TPO promoted platelet activation in vitro.

conclusionAssessment of PDMPs, sP-selectin, IL-6, and TPO may be beneficial in the primary prevention of multi-organ failure in sepsis patients with DIC.
