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

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy is a common neurological complication of sepsis and is responsible for higher mortality and poorer long-term outcomes in septic patients. Sepsis-associated encephalopathy symptoms can range from mild delirium to deep coma, which occurs in up to 70% of patients in intensive care units. The pathological changes in the brain associated with sepsis include cerebral ischaemia, cerebral haemorrhage, abscess and progressive multifocal necrotic leukoencephalopathy. Several mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis-associated encephalopathy, such as blood-brain barrier dysfunction, cerebral blood flow impairment, glial cell activation, leukocyte transmigration, and neurotransmitter disturbances. These events are interrelated and influence each other, therefore they do not act as independent factors. This review is focused on new evidence showing the pathological process of sepsis-associated encephalopathy.
