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

Excessive release of cytokines during systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) often leads to refractory hypotension and multiple organ failure with high mortality. Cytokine removal with hemoadsorption has emerged as a possible adjuvant therapy, but data on interleukin-6 (IL-6) reduction and outcomes in clinical practice are scarce. We aimed to evaluate the effect of CytoSorb hemoadsorption on laboratory and clinical outcomes in shocked patients with SIRS. We designed a retrospective analysis of all patients with SIRS treated with CytoSorb in intensive care units (ICU). IL-6, laboratory and hemodynamic parameters were analyzed at approximate time intervals during CytoSorb treatment in the whole cohort and in a subgroup with septic shock. Observed and predicted mortality rates were compared. We included 118 patients with various etiologies of SIRS (septic shock 69%, post-resuscitation shock 16%, SIRS with acute pancreatitis 6%, other 9%); in all but one patient, CytoSorb was coupled with renal replacement therapy. A statistically significant decrease in IL-6 and vasopressor index with an increase in pH and mean arterial pressure was observed from 6 h onward. The reduction of lactate became significant at 48 h. Results were similar in a subgroup of patients with septic shock. Observed ICU and in-hospital mortalities were lower than predicted by Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) (61% vs. 79%,
