Role of Procalcitonin in Predicting Mortality and Organ Dysfunction at Intensive Care Admission.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Objective: To assess the prognostic utility of procalcitonin (PCT) in high-risk sepsis patients. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted with the inclusion of all eligible intensive care unit patients with Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score of 2 or more. Results: A total of 228 patients were acquired from January 2018 to December 2020, with male predominant (58.8%), mean age of 53.61 years old. The overall 28-day mortality was 57.5%. In the group with PCT ≥ 7 ng/mL, 28-day mortality was 68.5% (87 patients out of a total of 127). Cox regression showed that in this group, the risk of mortality occurring within 28 days from the day of ICU admission was 1.55 times higher (95% CI 1.074-2252, p value 0.02). Independent sample Conclusion: Procalcitonin levels are associated with mortality and SOFA scores in sepsis patients. Further studies need to be carried out to provide more evidence so that it can help reduce the mortality and morbidity of sepsis.
