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

To analyze the predictive value of serum Golgi protein 73 (GP73) and IL-6 for 90-day prognosis in patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF). A total of 289 patients with hepatitis B virus infection who attended the Infection Department of the 910th Hospital of the PLA Logistics Support Force from February 2022 to April 2024 were included in this study. A total of 149 patients with HBV-ACLF were followed up for 3 months after diagnosis, and their outcomes were recorded and assessed. Serum GP73 and IL-6 levels were determined via an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and an automatic electrochemical luminescence immunity analyzer, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression, piecewise linear regression analysis, threshold effect and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the predictive value of serum Golgi protein 73 (GP73) and IL-6 for 90-day prognosis in patients with HBV-ACLF. Our results revealed that the serum GP73 and IL-6 levels in patients with HBV-ACLF were significantly higher than in chronic hepatitis B group (all P values < 0.001). The serum levels of GP73 and IL-6 in patients with HBV-ACLF who survived after 90 days were lower than those in the nonsurvival group (all P values < 0.001). In addition, the highest serum levels of GP73 and IL-6 were associated with a greater risk of death in HBV-ACLF patients after adjusting for potential confounders (P = 0.0094, 0.0377). Additionally, a nonlinear relationship was observed between GP73 and the risk of 90-day mortality, with an inflection point at 298.99 ng/mL (P = 0.003). A positive linear correlation between IL-6 and the risk of 90-day death was observed in patients with serum IL-6 levels less than 98.78 pg/mL (P = 0.0368). Furthermore, the accuracy of classical prognostic scores, including the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score and model for end-stage liver disease-sodium (MELD-Na) score, was significantly improved after combining GP73 and IL-6 in predicting the 90-day prognosis of patients with HBV-ACLF. Serum GP73 and IL-6 levels were significant predictors of short-term prognosis in patients with HBV-ACLF. The combination of GP73 and IL-6 significantly improved the predictive value of classical prognostic scores.
