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: Elevated international normalized ratio of prothrombin time (PT-INR) is one of the key characteristics of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Whether the staging of PT-INR has the ability to screen out subgroups of ACLF patients who would be more eligible for artificial liver support system (ALSS) treatment has not been studied in detail. Methods: A previous study enrolled patients receiving ALSS treatment with regional citrate anticoagulation from January 2018 to December 2019. Patients with different PT-INR intervals were retrospectively enrolled: 1.3 ≤ PT-INR < 1.5 (Pre-stage), 1.5 ≤ PT-INR < 2.0 (Early-stage), 2.0 ≤ PT-INR < 2.5 (Mid-stage), and PT-INR ≥ 2.5 (End-stage). The Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the association between stages of ACLF or sessions of ALSS treatment and 90 day mortality. Results: A total of 301 ACLF patients were enrolled. The 90 day mortality risk of Early-stage ACLF patients (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) (95% confidence interval (CI)), 3.20 (1.15-8.89), Conclusion: ACLF patients in Pre-, Early-, and Mid-stages might be more eligible for ALSS treatment. Application of 3-5 sessions of ALSS treatment might be reasonable.
