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
Purpose: Angiogenic factor with G patch and FHA domains 1 (AGGF1) is a crucial angiogenic factor that is involved in a variety of diseases and in the regulation of inflammatory responses. However, its role in sepsis is poorly understood. We have investigated the role of AGGF1 in the classification and prognostic evaluation of adult septic patients in a clinical context. Patients and Methods: A total of 126 septic patients who visited the Emergency Department of Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital and 76 non-sepsis patients visiting the Physical Examination Center of Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital were enrolled. AGGF1 levels in plasma were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine correlations between plasma AGGF1 and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, Acute Pathology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, procalcitonin and lactate. We evaluated the classification significance of AGGF1 in sepsis using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. We also assessed the predictive significance of AGGF1 for 28-day mortality in sepsis using ROC curves and Kaplan-Meier analyses. Results: Plasma AGGF1 levels were higher in sepsis patients than in non-sepsis patients (P < 0.001). Among sepsis patients, plasma AGGF1 levels were higher in non-survivors than in survivors (P < 0.001). Increased plasma AGGF1 levels were positively correlated with SOFA score, APACHE II score, procalcitonin and lactate. Plasma AGGF1 levels could distinguish sepsis patients from non-sepsis patients (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.777). AGGF1 had a higher predictive value than SOFA score, APACHE II score, lactate, procalcitonin, and white blood cell count for 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis (AUC = 0.876). Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that lower plasma AGGF1 levels were associated with lower 28-day mortality compared with higher plasma AGGF1 levels (log rank P < 0.001). Conclusion: AGGF1 is useful for the classification and evaluating prognosis of adult septic patients.
