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
Objective: To evaluate the prognosis significance of a newly simplified immune-dysregulation index, interleukin-6-to-lymphocyte ratio (IL-6/LY), in individuals diagnosed with sepsis. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study enrolling consecutive patients diagnosed with sepsis who qualified the inclusion criteria and were admitted to the intensive care unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between March 2017 and January 2023. Multivariate COX and logistic regression models were used to estimate the association between IL-6/LY and 28-day in-hospital mortality or multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Restricted cubic splines and survival analysis were used to show a nonlinear correlation between IL-6/LY and mortality. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic value of IL-6/LY. was performed using the Kaplan‒Meier method. Results: The study encompassed 301 participants, categorized into two groups-those with low IL-6/LY and high IL-6/LY-determined by the cutoff value of 326.04. On multivariate analyses, a high IL-6/LY was independently associated with 28-day in-hospital mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 8.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.67-13.74, Conclusion: The IL-6/LY is significantly associated with the risk of 28-day in-hospital mortality and MODS in patients with sepsis, making it a potential prognostic marker for risk stratification, which enables early identification of high-risk patients, timely interventions, and personalized treatment strategies to optimize patient outcomes.
