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

introductionSepsis is the most common etiology of acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Capillary leakage caused by lung endothelial injury is the central cause of ARDS. The results of research in modern medicine in reducing endothelial damage and restoring endothelial functions are limited. In the previous clinical observations, we found that the Fusu mixture not only improves the clinical symptoms but also reduces the leakage of pulmonary capillaries. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of the Fusu mixture combined with Western medicine in the treatment of ARDS caused by sepsis and to explore the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine.

methodsThis is a prospective, single-center, randomized, single-blind, and controlled clinical study involving 620 eligible patients. The patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups: the Western medicine treatment group and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment group. After 14 days of intervention, the clinical efficacy and safety of the Fusu mixture on sepsis-induced ARDS patients will be observed. The primary outcome will be measured as 28-day mortality. The secondary outcome indices include inflammatory markers (CRP, PCT, IL-6, TNF - α), APACHE II score, SOFA score, days without a ventilator, blood gas analysis (Lac, PaO2 / FiO2), intensive care unit hospital stay time, intensive care unit mortality. Simultaneously, the analysis of the exploratory results will be carried out to analyze the possible mechanism of Fusu mixture in the treatment of sepsis-induced ARDS by the high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Fusu mixture in the treatment of sepsis-induced ARDS and explore its possible mechanism of action. If successful, it will provide evidence-based adjuvant therapy for the clinical treatment of ARDS.
