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

Sepsis, characterized by life-threatening organ dysfunction resulting from an uncontrolled response to infection, can impact various systems of the body, including the digestive system. Prior research has identified sepsis as a significant risk factor for gastrointestinal bleeding. However, there is limited reporting on the gastric microecology of individuals with sepsis complicated by gastrointestinal bleeding. This paper presents the cases of two patients, shedding light on this issue. The first case was a 29-year-old female who developed sepsis during perioperative liver transplantation, while the second case features a 34-year-old female with acute pancreatitis complicated by septic shock. Both patients underwent gastroscopy following gastrointestinal bleeding, revealing evident gastric mucosal injuries. Notably, the second patient exhibited suppurative gastritis. Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) of gastric juice from these two patients unveiled microecological alterations in the stomach. The sequencing results indicated a substantial presence of pathogenic sequences, underscoring the role of direct gastric mucosal injury due to infection as a significant contributor to gastrointestinal bleeding. This study not only introduces a novel approach to pinpointing the causes of gastrointestinal bleeding in sepsis but also provides valuable insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
