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

backgroundIn China, one of the major causes of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) is the intake of herbals containing pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA). However, prognostic factors for PA-induced HSOS are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to identify the independent prognostic factors for PA-induced HSOS using a multi-center study.

methodsA total of 117 PA-induced HSOS patients were enrolled for data collection in three university hospitals from November 2003 to September 2018. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis were used to determine prognostic factors for PA-induced HSOS.

resultsThe median age of the PA-induced HSOS patients was 61 years (range, 21-88 years), and 64% of them were male. The survival rates at 1, 3, and 36 months were 89.71%, 72.60%, and 69.19%, respectively. Significant differences in prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio, total bilirubin, severity grading [new criteria for severity grading of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)-related HSOS in adults] were found between patients who survived and those who died. Univariate and multivariate survival analysis using Cox's regression model demonstrated low serum albumin (<35 g/L), elevated serum urea (>8.2 mmol/L) and severe or very severe HSOS (European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation 2016 criteria) were independent prognostic factors of survival.

conclusionsSerum albumin, serum urea, and severity grading were independent prognostic factors for patients with PA-induced HSOS, and can contribute to identifying potentially high-risk patients for early effective intervention.
