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 aim of this study is to investigate the predictive and diagnostic ability of interleukin-6 (IL-6) for postoperative urosepsis in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). 90 patients undergoing PCNL between April 2019 and September 2019 were studied. 16 patients progressed to urosepsis (EXP1 group, n = 16) and 74 patients did not (CON group, n = 74); demographic and perioperative data were compared between these two groups. 25 patients who progressed to postoperative urosepsis without receiving the test of IL-6 between March 2018 and March 2019 were enrolled (EXP2 group, n = 25); demographic and perioperative data were compared between EXP1 group and EXP2 group. Compared with CON group, EXP1 group showed higher serum levels of IL-6 (p < 0.001) and neutrophil (p < 0.001) at postoperative hour two; higher serum levels of IL-6 (p < 0.001), procalcitonin (PCT) (p < 0.05), white blood cell (WBC) (p < 0.05), and neutrophil (p < 0.001) on postoperative day one; higher serum levels of PCT (p < 0.05) and WBC (p < 0.05) on postoperative day three. ROC curves showed IL-6 (AUC = 1.000) at postoperative hour two and PCT (AUC = 0.954) on postoperative day three. Compared with EXP2 group, EXP1 group showed shorter time to intervene (p < 0.001), a shorter postoperative hospital stay (p < 0.001), and a lower incidence rate of severe urosepsis (p < 0.05). There were different diagnostic abilities of IL-6, PCT, WBC, and neutrophil for postoperative urosepsis at different time points, and IL-6 was greatly valuable as a predictive and early diagnosing biomarker for postoperative urosepsis in patients undergoing PCNL at postoperative hour two and on postoperative day one.
