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

backgroundSeptic shock is one of the leading causes of mortality in intensive care units. This retrospective study was carried out to evaluate the association of clinical available factors with 28-day mortality. PATIENTS AND

methodIn this observational study, patients with perioperative septic shocks secondary to intra-abdominal infection caused by enteric perforation were included. A total of 328 sepsis patients were admitted to the surgical intensive care units from January 2012 to December 2016. A total of 138 patients met the enrolment criteria and were included in the study. The data of demographic, clinical and laboratory were all recorded.

resultAll these 138 patients received abdominal surgery prior to surgical intensive care units caused by acute enteric perforation. These patients were all met the diagnostic criteria of septic shock according to Sepsis-3. Statistical analysis showed that lactic acid, blood platelet, fibrinogen, creatinine and activated partial thromboplastin time were found to be associated with 28-day mortality. A combination of serum activated partial thromboplastin time combined with fibrinogen and creatinine could predict in-hospital 28-day mortality. The area under the curve of serum activated partial thromboplastin time combined with fibrinogen and creatinine is 0.875 (0.806-0.944).

conclusionIn conclusion, this pilot study demonstrated that these factors can predict the prognosis of septic shock caused by enteric perforation. In order to reduce the mortality, surgeons and intensive care units physician may consider these data in perioperative period.
