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

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is recognized as an emerging infectious disease. This study aimed to investigate the pathogenic mechanism of SFTS. A total of 100 subjects were randomly included in the study. Cytokine levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the viral load was detected by micro drop digital PCR. The results showed that levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-10, IFN-inducible protein-10 (IP-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted factor (RANTES) differed significantly among the SFTS patient group, healthy people group, and asymptomatic infection group (p < .05). Compared to the healthy people group, the patient group had increased cytokine levels (IL-6, IL-10, IP-10, MCP-1, and IFN-γ) but reduced levels of IL-8, TGF-β1, and RANTES (p < .0167). IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1α, TGF-β1, and the RANTES levels had different trends after the onset of the disease. IL-6, IL-10, IP-10, and MCP-1 levels in severe patients were higher than those in mild patients (p < .05). There was a positive correlation between viral load and IL-6 and IP-10 but a negative correlation between viral load and RANTES. SFTSV could cause a cytokine change: the cytokine levels of patients had different degrees of fluctuation after the onset of the disease. The levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in the asymptomatic infection group were found between the SFTS patients group and the healthy people group. The levels of IL-6, IL-10, IP-10, and MCP-1 in the serum could reflect the severity of the disease, and the levels of IL-6, IP-10, and RANTES were correlated with the viral load.
