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 is a life-threatening organ dysfunction syndrome caused by dysregulated host responses to infection. Not only does sepsis pose a serious hazard to human health, but it also imposes a substantial economic burden on the healthcare system. The cornerstones of current treatment for sepsis remain source control, fluid resuscitation, and rapid administration of antibiotics, etc. To date, no drugs have been approved for treating sepsis, and most clinical trials of potential therapies have failed to reduce mortality. The immune response caused by the pathogen is complex, resulting in a dysregulated innate and adaptive immune response that, if not promptly controlled, can lead to excessive inflammation, immunosuppression, and failure to re-establish immune homeostasis. The impaired immune response in patients with sepsis and the potential immunotherapy to modulate the immune response causing excessive inflammation or enhancing immunity suggest the importance of demonstrating individualized therapy. Here, we review the immune dysfunction caused by sepsis, where immune cell production, effector cell function, and survival are directly affected during sepsis. In addition, we discuss potential immunotherapy in septic patients and highlight the need for precise treatment according to clinical and immune stratification.
