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.

Abstract

backgroundExtracorporeal blood purification with CytoSorb has been increasingly used as an adjunctive therapy in several hyperinflammatory critical care conditions, as well as to remove elevated levels of myoglobin or bilirubin in patients with rhabdomyolysis or liver failure. Despite the increasing worldwide use of hemoadsorption, data from large international multicenter studies are still lacking.

objectiveThe COSMOS (CytoSorb Treatment Of Critically Ill Patients) registry is a company-sponsored registry by CytoSorbents Corporation and CytoSorbents Medical Inc. and will provide a data repository and reporting infrastructure for the surveillance of CytoSorb use in real-world critical care settings in an unselected, critically ill patient population. The gathered data will serve as a comprehensive resource to assess the effects of such therapy on patients' management.

methodsThe international COSMOS registry is collecting prospective data for patients treated with CytoSorb during routine care in various critical care indications, based on the decision of the treating physicians. Data are collected at baseline, during CytoSorb therapy, 24 hours thereafter, at discharge from the intensive care unit and the hospital, and on day 90. Key outcomes assessed include change in inflammatory biomarkers, vasopressor requirements, fluid balance, organ function and organ support, length of intensive care unit and hospital stay, occurrence of adverse events, and mortality.

resultsThe COSMOS registry started with the inclusion of the first patient on July 15, 2022, and is now actively enrolling in 4 countries (Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Italy), with plans to expand to other countries outside of Europe. An initial readout is planned for presentation at an international Critical Care conference in 2024.

conclusionsThe COSMOS registry is intended to provide comprehensive real-world data on patient outcomes with CytoSorb in various critical care indications, thereby contributing to optimization of patient selection, timing of initiation, and dosing of hemoadsorption treatment.
