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

Background: To observe the relationship between the expression of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the prognosis of patients with acute liver failure (ALF) treated with artificial liver. Methods: 80 patients with ALF from January 2021 to October 2023 were included. All of them received artificial liver system treatment. All of the included subjects completed the effective follow-up for three months. The patients were followed up until April 30, 2023. According to the disease outcomes of patients after the end of follow-up, they were divided into a survival group and a death group. The serum IL-6 and NLR expressions of the two groups were compared, and the relationship between serum IL-6 and NLR expressions and the prognosis of patients with ALF treated with artificial liver was analysed. Results: The expression levels of serum IL-6 and NLR in the death group were higher (P<0.05). The high expressions of serum IL-6 and NLR might be a risk factor for the increased risk of death in patients with ALF after treatment (P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve indicated that the area under the curve (AUC) of fasting serum IL-6 and NLR expressions in patients with ALF predicting the prognosis of artificial liver treatment were 0.727 and 0.789. When the AUC of serum IL-6 combined with NLR predicted the prognosis of artificial liver treatment in patients with ALF, it was 0.889. Conclusions: The expression of serum IL-6 and NLR is correlated with the prognosis of patients with ALF treated with artificial liver.
