Diagnostic importance of serum C-reactive protein and procalcitonin in sepsis after burn.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionIn this study, we investigated the usefulness of blood white blood cell (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP) and Procalcitonin (PCT) levels with a clinical diagnosis of infection in patients with severe burns, with a bacterial culture (+) wound site, in patients with SIRS and sepsis. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn the study, 23 patients with (+) burn wound culture hospitalized in the intensive care unit of Gazi Yaşargil Training and Research Hospital Burn Center burn between January 2016 and January 2021 were analyzed. While five of these patients were showing symptoms of SIRS. Sepsis was observed in five patients.
resultsFrom 23 patients, 18 (78.3%) were male, and 5 (21.7%) were female. The majority of our patients were lived in rural areas. The average age of patients was 1,061±17,273 years. The wound culture results of the 23 patients were (+), mostly due to
conclusionThe laboratory biomarkers WBC, CRP and PCT do not have a superior value in determining and monitoring infection processes in patients with serious burns.
