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

objectivesSepsis patients exhibit diverse immune states, making it crucial to identify subtypes with distinct inflammatory profiles through Th1/Th2 cytokine data for personalized treatment and improved prognosis.

methodsWe retrieved data from sepsis patients who underwent Th1/Th2 cytokine testing in Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University from June 1, 2020, to February 1, 2022. An unsupervised K-means clustering method classified participants based on Th1/Th2 cytokine levels, with the primary outcome being the 7-day mortality rate post-ICU admission. Cox proportional hazards and Restricted Mean Survival Time (RMST) analyses were utilized to explore survival outcomes.

resultsA total of 321 sepsis patients were included. IL-6 (HR 1.69, 95%CI: 1.22, 2.34) and IL-10 (HR 1.81, 95%

conclusionsSeptic patients in a protective immune response state (Cluster 1) exhibit better short-term prognoses, suggesting the importance of understanding inflammatory/immune states for precise treatment and improved outcomes.
