The Prospective Analysis of Biomarkers in Sepsis: Correlation With Clinical Outcomes.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background Sepsis is a medical emergency and necessitates immediate diagnosis and treatment to prevent the progression to severe sepsis, septic shock, and potentially mortality. Aim This study aims to study the diagnostic significance of conventional and new markers, interleukin-10 (IL-10), in predicting the severity of sepsis. Methodology A prospective observational study was conducted in the department of surgery in a tertiary care hospital in Pune, India. The study included 100 patients diagnosed with a quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score of ≥2. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels were measured. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to assess the diagnostic performance of these biomarkers. Results The mean serum CRP level on day 7 was significantly higher than the baseline, day 1, and day 3 groups (p=0.0001). On analysis by repeated measure, the ANOVA test revealed that the mean CRP levels on day 7 were significantly higher. The mean PCT levels on day 7, day 3, and day 1 groups were significantly lower than those on day 1, day 2, and day 2, respectively (p=0.0001). The mean p-value of 3.3 g/L CRP was significantly lower on day 1 than that on day 3. IL-10 levels showed a significant upward trend, rising from 5.21 pg/mL at baseline to 7.57 pg/mL by day 7, with a p-value of <0.0001. Our cohort population showed elevated IL-10 values on the day of admission in a total of 15 patients. In our study, we observed that 11 patients with elevated IL-10 levels progressed toward multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and four mortalities. IL-10 is a crucial marker for identifying patients with worsening surgical sepsis. Conclusion IL-10, CRP, and PCT have potential as prognostic markers in assessing and predicting disease severity. The dynamic changes in these biomarkers correlate strongly with clinical outcomes, suggesting their role in guiding treatment decisions.
