Resistin-Can it be a new early marker for prognosis in patients who survive after a cardiac arrest? A pilot study.
Article in PloS one, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimThe aim of our study was to evaluate the potential role of resistin in estimating the 30 days prognosis in patients with hypoxic-ischemic organ injury who survived after a cardiac arrest (CA). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included 40 patients resuscitated after a non-traumatic out-of-hospital CA admitted in Emergency Department (ED). All patients were followed for 30 days after CA or until death. Clinical data on admission were recorded. Blood samples were collected on admission in ED (0-time interval), and at 6, 12, 24, 48- and 72-hours following resuscitation. Serum concentrations of resistin, S100B and neuron specific enolase (NSE) were measured. Several predictive scores for the mortality at 30 days were created with logistic regressions.
resultsAt each time interval, median serum levels of resistin and S100 B were significantly higher in non-survivors compared to survivors. For NSE, plasma levels were significantly lower in survivors as compared to non-survivors at 48 and 72 hours, respectively. Accurate predictive scores for 30-days mortality were the ones which included the values of resistin and S100B measured at 12 hours after admittance [AUC 0.938 (0.813-0.989), sensitivity 85.71% (67.3%- 96%), specificity 91.67% (61.5%'99.8%), p<0.001], which included the values of all three markers measured at 12 hours after admittance [AUC 0.955 (0.839-0.995), sensitivity 82.14% (63.1%'93.9%), specificity 100.00% (73.5%'100.0%), p<0.001] and the that included the values of resistin and S-100B at 6 hours together with serum lactate on admission [AUC = 0.994 (0.901-1.0), sensitivity 96.4% (81.7%'99.9%), specificity 100.00% (73.5%'100.0%), p<0.001].
conclusionIn our study, serum levels of resistin or a combination of resistin with S-100B or resistin with S-100B and lactate, were highly predictive for 30 days mortality in resuscitated patients after CA. Further studies on large number of patients are needed to confirm our data.
