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

backgroundSepsis is a life-threatening condition of organ dysfunction caused by the host's disordered immune response to infection. It has a high fatality rate and seriously endangers human health. Rapid and accurate treatment plays an important role in the reduction of septic mortality. This study aimed to investigate the clinical value of hematological parameters neutrophil (NEU)-X, NEU-Y, monocyte (MON)-X, and MON-Y in sepsis, and compare their values with that of with C-reactive protein (CRP).

methodsWe collected dipotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA-K2) anticoagulant blood samples from a total of 267 patients with positive bacterial culture and 260 healthy physical check-up patients. Participants were divided into three groups: a normal control group (n=260), bacterial infection group (n=196), and a sepsis group (n=71).

resultsMedian values of NEU-X, NEU-Y, MON-X, MON-Y, and CRP in the sepsis group were significantly higher than those in the control group and the bacterial infection group (P<0.0001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of NEU-X, NEU-Y, MON-X, MON-Y, and CRP for the diagnosis of sepsis was 0.751 (sensitivity 76.1%, specificity 58.2%), 0.877 (87.3%, 72.1%), 0.791 (77.6%, 65.9%), 0.695 (71.6%, 51.4%), and 0.790 (72.5%, 70.2%), respectively. In addition, blood smear examination results showed that NEU-X value was positively correlated with the degree of toxic granulation in neutrophils.

conclusionsThe parameters NEU-X, NEU-Y, and MON-X can be used as indicators for the differential diagnosis of sepsis with comparable diagnostic efficacy to CRP. Compared to CRP, these hematological parameters are easier to obtain, more convenient, and have economic benefits.
