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

The endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) is recognized as a prognostic indicator across various diseases; however, its utility in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between EASIX and prognosis in individuals receiving CRRT. Data from patients receiving CRRT were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. EASIX was calculated and log2-transformed. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was conducted based on log2(EASIX) quartiles. Cox proportional hazards regression was utilized to estimate the relationship between EASIX and 28-day all-cause mortality. Potential nonlinear associations were evaluated through restricted cubic splines (RCS) analysis, and subgroup analyses were performed to assess the robustness of EASIX's impact on all-cause mortality. A total of 2,873 ICU patients treated with CRRT were enrolled. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that higher EASIX scores were significantly associated with lower 28-day survival (log-rank p < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, EASIX remained significantly associated with the risk of 28-day all-cause mortality among CRRT patients (HR: 1.066; 95% CI: 1.026-1.107; p = 0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) of the SOFA+EASIX model was 0.694 (95% CI: 0.673-0.714; p < 0.001), slightly higher than that of the SOFA scores alone. These results suggest that EASIX may enhance the predictive performance of SOFA scores. RCS analysis indicated a linear association between log2(EASIX) and 28-day all-cause mortality (p for overall = 0.001; p for nonlinear = 0.224). Subgroup analyses confirmed the robustness of this association across various patient groups. In conclusion, EASIX is independently associated with mortality in patients undergoing CRRT. Prospective studies are warranted to further explore its therapeutic and prognostic significance.
