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

backgroundThe hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis regulates the response to sepsis-associated stress. Relative adrenal insufficiency or adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH):cortisol imbalance, defined as a poor cortisol response to administration of ACTH, is common and associated with death in hospitalized foals. However, information on other adrenal steroid response to ACTH stimulation in sick foals is minimal.

objectiveTo investigate the response of multiple adrenocortical steroids to administration of ACTH in foals. ANIMALS: Hospitalized (n = 34) and healthy (n = 13) foals.

methodsIn this prospective study, hospitalized foals were categorized into 2 groups using cluster analysis based on adrenal steroids response to ACTH stimulation: Cluster 1 (n = 11) and Cluster 2 (n = 23). After baseline blood sample collection, foals received 10 μg of ACTH with additional samples collected at 30 and 90 minutes after ACTH. Steroid and ACTH concentrations were determined by immunoassays. The area under the curve (AUC) and Delta

resultsThe AUC for cortisol, aldosterone, androstenedione, pregnenolone, 17α-OH-progesterone, and progesterone were higher in critically ill (Cluster 1) compared to healthy foals (P < .01). Delta CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: The 17α-OH-progesterone response to administration of ACTH was a good predictor of disease severity and death in hospitalized foals.
