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

backgroundCommunity-acquired respiratory infections are a prevalent cause of sepsis. Current animal models simulate peritoneal rather than respiratory sepsis. This study sought to appraise an influenza model for its ability to develop sepsis.

methodsTwenty-four six-week-old male BALB/c mice were intranasally inoculated with H1N1 strain A/PR/8/34 virus at 3.7 × 10

resultsOut of 24 infected mice, seven (29%) did not survive beyond 9 days. MSS predicted mortality with an AUC of 0.989 (95%CI: 0.978-1.000; P < 0.001). Liver and renal dysfunction were detected in one non-survived and six survived mice. Histological examination revealed inflammation in lung and liver but not kidney tissues.

conclusionsThis study demonstrates the potential of influenza to cause organ dysfunction, providing a basis for building a murine model specific for viral respiratory sepsis, and more closely simulating human viral sepsis.
