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

Sepsis associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a common clinical syndrome that occurs among hospitalized patients and significantly impacts mortality. Furthermore, survival after sepsis is intricately dependent on recovery of kidney function. In this review, we discuss the role of iron imbalance in mediating the pathogenic events during sepsis. Intracellular ferritin serves as a repository for iron and prevents iron-mediated injury and may limit the availability of iron to pathogens. Circulating levels of ferritin also increase during sepsis and often correlate with severity of sepsis. Herein, we examine preclinical and clinical data and discuss recent findings that suggest immunomodulatory roles for ferritin. We also discuss the possible mechanistic roles for ferritin in mitigating the pathogenic sequelae of sepsis and highlight current gaps in knowledge.
