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.

Abstract

Background: The CytOSorb Methods: Since July 2022, patients who were treated with CS as part of their intensive care treatment were enrolled from 16 sites in Germany, Italy, and Spain in the registry. After informed consent, real-world clinical data are systematically collected at multiple intervals, including 24 h before CS start, during CS treatment, and 24 h post-CS treatment, as well as at discharge from intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital discharge, and final follow-up on day 90. Vital status was assessed as ICU survival, 30-day survival, overall hospital survival, and 90-day survival. We compared details on the type of extracorporeal circuit used, device flow rate, anticoagulation regimen, vasopressor requirements, fluid balance, ratio of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood to the fraction of inspiratory oxygen concentration (P/F ratio), myoglobin in the rhabdomyolysis cohort and bilirubin in the liver failure cohort before and after CS treatment. Safety of the device was assessed by investigator-reported device-related adverse effects. Data were presented as either mean ± standard deviation or as median with interquartile range (IQR). Results: A total of 150 patients were enrolled, 23 patients did not have any data entry by the time of the data readout for this interim analysis conducted and therefore had to be excluded from the analysis (33 % female, mean age [59±17] years). CS indications included septic shock (57.6 %), cardiogenic shock (12.9 %), and rhabdomyolysis (10.6 %). CS was mainly integrated with renal replacement therapy (82.8 %). Median Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score was 23 (IQR: 17-29), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score 12 (IQR: 9-15), and ICU stay 20 (IQR: 11-33) days. Median interleukin-6 decreased significantly from 862.4 (IQR: 142-97,457) pg/mL in the 24 h before CS treatment to 202.8 (IQR: 42-3247) pg/mL in the 24 h post-CS treatment ( Conclusions: The COSMOS registry highlights CS-associated improvements in lactate, creatinine, norepinephrine needs, fluid balance, and oxygenation. Mortality was favorable compared with risk-based predictions.Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT05146336.
