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

Background: Hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) has significant morbidity and mortality and is associated with the induction of cytokines/chemokines, which might contribute to the pathogenesis of liver injury. This study aimed to explore the cytokine/chemokine profiles of patients with HBV-ACLF and develop a composite clinical prognostic model. Methods: We prospectively collected blood samples and the clinical data of 107 patients with HBV-ACLF admitted to the Beijing Ditan Hospital. The concentrations of 40-plex cytokines/chemokines were measured in 86 survivors and 21 non-survivors using the Luminex assay. Discrimination between the cytokine/chemokine profiles in different prognosis groups was analyzed using the multivariate statistical techniques of principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). An immune-clinical prognostic model was obtained using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The PCA and PLS-DA indicated that cytokine/chemokine profiling could clearly distinguish patients with different prognoses. A total of 14 cytokines, namely, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL9, CXCL13, CX3CL1, GM-SCF, CCL21, and CCL23, were significantly correlated with disease prognosis. Multivariate analysis identified CXCL2, IL-8, total bilirubin, and age as independent risk factors that constituted the immune-clinical prognostic model, which showed the strongest predictive value of 0.938 compared with those of the Chronic Liver Failure Consortium (CLIF-C) ACLF (0.785), Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) (0.669), and MELD-Na (0.723) scores ( Conclusion: The serum cytokine/chemokine profiles correlated with the 90-day prognosis of patients with HBV-ACLF. The proposed composite immune-clinical prognostic model resulted in more accurate prognostic estimates than those of the CLIF-C ACLF, MELD, and MELD-Na scores.
