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 condition caused by dysregulated host responses to infection. Myeloid cell accumulation and lymphocyte decline are widely recognized phenomena in septic patients. However, the fate of specific immune cells remains unclear. Here, we report the results of a human explorative study of patients with septic peritonitis and patients undergoing abdominal surgery without sepsis. We analyzed pairwise peritoneal fluid and peripheral blood taken 24 h after surgery to characterize immediate immune cell changes. Our results show that myeloid cell expansion and lymphocyte loss occur in all patients undergoing open abdominal surgery, indicating that these changes are not specific to sepsis. However, B1-like lymphocytes were specifically increased in the peritoneal fluid of septic patients, correlating positively with sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE-II) clinical severity scores. In support of this notion, we identified an accumulation of peritoneal B1b lymphocytes in septic mice.
