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 aims of this study were to investigate the profile of serum triglyceride level and its influence on outcomes in adult patients with severe burns. An observational study was conducted on 62 patients with burn extent from and over 20% TBSA. Results indicated that serum triglyceride level steadily increased from 1.9mmo/l on the 3rd day to 2.5 mmol/l on the 14th day before reducing on the 21st day after burn. Remarkably higher triglyceride level was seen in patients with full thickness burn area >20% TBSA and in inhalation injury (p < .05). Liver size significantly increased over time and was greater in increased triglyceride patients, but the difference was not significant (p > .05). In addition, patients with elevated serum triglyceride level had significantly higher rates of multiple organ failure and death compared with the remaining group. Further studies need to be conducted to understand and determine intervention for increased plasma triglyceride levels in severely burned patients.
