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

The implementation of endotype-driven effective intervention strategies is now considered as an essential component for sepsis management. Rapid screening and frequent monitoring of immune responses are critical for evidence-based informed decisions in the early hours of patient arrival. Current technologies focus on pathogen identification that lack rapid testing of the patient immune response, impeding clinicians from providing appropriate sepsis treatment. Herein, we demonstrate a first-of-its-kind novel point-of-care device that uses a unique approach by directly monitoring a panel of five cytokine biomarkers (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TRAIL & IP-10), that is attributed as a sign of the body's host immune response to sepsis. The developed point-of-care device encompasses a disposable sensor cartridge attached to an electrochemical reader. High sensitivity is achieved owing to the unique sensor design with an array of nanofilm semiconducting/metal electrode interface, functionalized with specific capture probes to measure target biomarkers simultaneously using non-faradaic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The sensor has a detection limit of ~1 pg/mL and provides results in less than five minutes from a single drop of undiluted plasma sample. Furthermore, the sensor demonstrates an excellent correlation (Pearson's r > 0.90) with the reference method for a total n = 40 clinical samples, and the sensor's performance is ~30 times faster compared to the standard reference technique. We have demonstrated the sensor's effectiveness to enhance diagnosis with a mechanistic biomarker-guided approach that can help disease endotypying for effective clinical management of sepsis at the patient bedside.
