Etiology and clinical significance of peripheral blood cytokines in geriatric patients with pulmonary infections.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: This study aimed to characterize the etiological patterns and assess the clinical relevance of serum inflammatory cytokine levels in elderly patients with pulmonary infections. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 75 geriatric inpatients with radiologically confirmed pulmonary infections and 75 age-matched non-infected controls at He Fei Third Clinical College of Anhui Medical University from January 2022 to December 2024. Serum cytokines (IL-2, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IFN- Results: Compared to age-matched non-infected controls, infected patients had a higher prevalence of diabetes ( Conclusion: The cytokine profile showing increased levels of IL-6 and TNF-
