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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to explore the diagnostic role of sTREM1 in the diagnosis of sepsis and in differentiating between sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). We also aimed to assess the prognostic value of suPAR in comparison to sequential organ-failure assessment (SOFA), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II scores, and 28-day mortality.

methodsThis was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Medical Microbiology and Immunology Department and Central Research Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Sohag University from June 2019 to January 2021. The study population was classified into two groups: SIRS (no evidence of infection) and sepsis (with SIRS and evidence of infection). Patients were rated on the SOFA and APACHE II scoring systems at admission and after 7 days. Serum levels of sTREM1 and suPAR were measured by ELISA at the same time points.

resultsCRP and sTREM1 values were significantly higher in the sepsis group than the SIRS group on both days (

conclusionsTREM1 can be used as a good indicator for diagnosing sepsis in intensive care-unit patients. suPAR can also be used as a predictor of bad prognosis and poor survival at 7 days following admission.
