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

backgroundLymphopenia is common in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and may predispose to severe infections such as sepsis. However, what specific kind of lymphocytes subsets decreases is still unclear. We investigated the impact of lymphocytes subsets on post-critical ICH infections and mortality.

methodsConsecutive ICH patients (admitted to a single center between January 2017 and January 2018) were prospectively assessed to evaluate the following main parameters: peripheral blood lymphocytes, infections, and clinical scores. Predicting factors of sepsis were measured using multivariate Logistic regressions analysis. A Kaplan-Meier survival curve was performed to compare the mortality between septic and nonseptic patients. Survival status was evaluated by multivariate Cox regression analysis.

resultsIn total, 112 critical ICH cases were enrolled including 29 septic patients. Total counts of lymphocytes decreased accordingly with reduced lymphocyte subsets, especially natural killer (NK) cells and CD8

conclusionsCritical ICH patients underwent immune dysfunction and NK cells deficiency could favor nosocomial threatening sepsis after ICH.
