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

High-density cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are influenced by genetic variation in several genes. Low levels of HDL-C have been associated with increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). We investigated whether genetic polymorphisms in ten genes known to regulate HDL-C levels are associated with both HDL-C levels and AKI development during sepsis. Two cohorts were retrospectively analyzed: Derivation Cohort (202 patients with sepsis enrolled at the Emergency Department from 2011 to 2014 in Vancouver, Canada); Validation Cohort (604 septic shock patients enrolled into the Vasopressin in Septic Shock Trial (VASST)). Associations between HDL-related genetic polymorphisms and both HDL-C levels, and risk for clinically significant sepsis-associated AKI (AKI KDIGO stages 2 and 3) were evaluated. In the Derivation Cohort, one genetic variant in the Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) gene, rs1800777 (allele A), was strongly associated with lower HDL-C levels (17.4 mg/dL vs. 32.9 mg/dL, P = 0.002), greater CETP mass (3.43 µg/mL vs. 1.32 µg/mL, P = 0.034), and increased risk of clinically significant sepsis-associated AKI (OR: 8.28, p = 0.013). Moreover, the same allele was a predictor of sepsis-associated AKI in the Validation Cohort (OR: 2.38, p = 0.020). Our findings suggest that CETP modulates HDL-C levels in sepsis. CETP genotype may identify patients at high-risk of sepsis-associated AKI.
