The Relationship Between Cytokine Concentrations and Severity Scoring Index for Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever.

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
Background This study aimed to investigate the effects of serum high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-1β, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels on disease severity and mortality in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) patients. Materials and methods This study was performed prospectively in the intensive care unit (ICU) and infection ward of a tertiary hospital in the Republic of Türkiye. Patients aged 18 years and older diagnosed with CCHF were included. Results Our study included 30 patients, of whom 83.3% were male, where the mean age was 51.6±14.35 years. The most common clinical findings in patients were malaise (90%) and myalgia (63.3%). In our study, IL-1β levels were found to be 1173.6 (783.0-1823.0) pg/mL, IL-6 69.9 (56.8-133.1) pg/mL, IL-8 191.2 (152.8-516.9) pg/mL, TNF-α 129.5 (104.9-270.8), HMGB1 37.01 (29.26-75.18), and IL-10 190.1 (IQR: 147.8-387.8) pg/mL. The patients' median Severity Scoring Index (SSI) score was found to be 2.5 (1.8-5.5). There was a moderate correlation between the patients' SSI score and serum IL-6 (r=0.464, p=0.010), TNF-α (r=0.420, p=0.021), and IL-10 levels (r=0.518, p=0.003), and a weak correlation between serum HMGB1 (r=0.392, p=0.032). The correlation between SSI and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels (r=0.499, p=0.036) was observed to be moderate. Conclusion It was seen that IL-10, IL-6, TNF-α, HMBG-1, and CPK levels evaluated at the CCHF patients' time of admission to the clinic and SSI clinical score were found to be significantly related. It is clear that more studies with patients and groups of healthy volunteers are needed on this subject.
