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

purposeMultiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), defined as two or more organ dysfunction during infection or following shock or trauma, correlates with poor outcomes. Clinical data, including MODS in the renal intensive care unit (ICU), are scarce. Therefore, we investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with MODS in the renal ICU.

methodsA single-center, retrospective cohort study of 99 adult patients with MODS admitted to the renal ICU of the National Clinical Research Center of Kidney Disease, Jinling Hospital, Nanjing, China, from October 1, 2011 to October 1, 2021.

results99 patients had a mean age of 49.7 ± 16.5 years old, and 51 (51.5%) patients died within 28 days after being admitted to the renal ICU. Infection (80 patients, 80.8%) was the most common reason for admission, with 47 cases being pulmonary infections. Of all of the 99 patients, 73 (73.7%) presented with persistent lymphocytopenia (lymphocyte count < 1.1 × 10

conclusionsPatients with MODS are critically ill with high mortality. Persistent lymphopenia is frequent in patients with MODS and is independently associated with 28-day mortality. Lymphocyte counts on day 7 of admission were shown to be highly predictive of prognosis.
