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

Purpose: The C-reactive protein (CRP) velocity (CRPv) is an indicator of the change in CRP over time. In individuals with sepsis, the second values of CRP and CRPv have been shown to have more importance than the first CRP value measured at admission. This study examined the importance of CRPv for mortality among individuals who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: The study was conducted between January 2021 and December 2022. CRPv was calculated according to the change in the second CRP value compared to the first. Results: The median age of the patients was 79 years (interquartile range (IQR), 69-85 years), and 53.2 % were male. The in-hospital mortality rate was 45.5 %. The presence of diabetes increased the odds of mortality by 2.17 times (confidence interval (CI): 1.06-4.4, Conclusion: CRPv performed well in predicting mortality and had satisfactory discriminative ability. Additionally, diabetes, SOFA score, and CRPv elevation were significant risk factors for mortality.
