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
Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the predictive value of erythrocyte distribution width-to-platelet ratio (RPR) combined with procalcitonin (PCT) on 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis. Methods: A total of 193 patients with sepsis admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2013 to January 2018 were selected as the study objects. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to understand the indicators related to the 28-day prognosis of patients, and the ROC curve was further drawn. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to evaluate the prognosis of patients. Results: A total of 193 patients were enrolled and divided into the survivor group (=156) and nonsurvivor group (=37) according to the prognosis within 28 days. The median age was 62.5 years, and 64.7% were males. Multivariate analysis showed that PCT and RPR were independent risk factors for 28-day prognosis in sepsis patients. The area under the ROC curve of PCT and RPR were 0.894 and 0.861, respectively, and the cutoff values were 27.04 and 0.12, respectively. Survival curve analysis showed that PCT and RPR were associated with the 28-day prognosis of patients, and the combination of PCT and RPR had a better predictive effect. Conclusions: PCT and RPR are independent predictors of sepsis prognosis. The combined application of PCT and RPR (PCT-RPR) can further improve the predictive performance and provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis evaluation of sepsis patients.
