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

introductionOxidative stress is one of the pathophysiological processes that occur during sepsis. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production causes lipid peroxidation and protein and DNA damage. ROS and DNA damage triggers apoptosis. Several studies have shown that organ failure in sepsis is mediated by apoptosis. The aim of this study is to investigate the levels of serum ROS and serum caspase-3 in septic patients and healthy volunteers, and their correlation. MATERIAL AND

methodsSerum samples were taken within the first 12 hours of ICU stay. The dichlorofluorescein technique was used to determine serum ROS levels, and the ELISA technique was used to quantify serum caspase-3 in septic patients and healthy volunteers.

resultsThere was no difference in serum ROS levels between healthy volunteers and septic patients (P = 0.26), and there was a significant difference in serum caspase-3 levels between healthy volunteers and septic patients (P < 0.001). There was no difference between patients who lived and died in the intensive care unit (ICU) in serum ROS (P = 0.089) and serum caspase-3 (P = 0.18). There was no correlation between both markers (R = -0.0013, P = 0.98).

conclusionsWe conclude that there is no correlation between serum ROS and caspase-3; therefore, both processes might not be associated during the first hours of ICU stay.
