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

Thromboelastography (TEG) is regularly used for monitoring abnormalities of the coagulation system in patients with sepsis. However, it is unclear whether TEG parameters are associated with sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC). Thus, we aimed to assess the diagnostic value of TEG for SIC. The medical records of patients who underwent TEG from January 2016 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into sepsis group and non-sepsis group. Baseline patient characteristics and coagulation function indexes were compared. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine predictors of SIC. A total of 167 patients were included, of whom 84 had sepsis. The clot formation speed (K) was significantly higher(P < 0.001), and the maximum amplitude (MA) and angle were significantly lower (both P < 0.001) in the sepsis group than that in non-sepsis group. Patients with SIC had higher Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment scores than those patients without SIC (P < 0.001). The area under the curve of K for diagnosing SIC was 0.910. The area under the curve of angle and MA for excluding SIC was 0.895 and 0.882, respectively. Thus, TEG parameters have good diagnostic value for SIC.
