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 study investigated whether serum prealbumin level is associated with mortality in heatstroke patients. A retrospective study of 102 heatstroke patients admitted to the ICU in the Affiliated Changzhou No. 2 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2010 to November 2017 was performed they were divided into normal serum prealbumin group (n=79) and low prealbumin group (n=23) according to the difference in PA expression. The clinical data, laboratory inspection data, invasive positive pressure ventilation (IPPV), co-infection, shock and length of ICU stay during the ICU were compared between the two groups of patients. The study endpoints, deaths at admission, were recorded, and the survival curve plotted. Cox regression analysis was performed based on the clinical data of patients, and ROC curve plotted based on Cox multivariate independent prognostic indicators. There were significant differences in clinical variables PLT, ALT, AST, TBIL, ALB, TCH, LDH, TNI, BNP, creatinine, PT, APTT, FBG and D-dimer (P<0.05). The incidence of infection, shock and IPPV was significantly lower in normal serum prealbumin group of patients than those in low prealbumin group (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in short-term survival rate between the groups of patients (χ
