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: Septic shock remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric intensive care units, particularly in refractory cases unresponsive to standard therapy. Invasive Case Presentation: We report the compassionate use of the Seraph® 100 Microbind® affinity blood filter in a previously healthy 7-year-old girl with refractory septic shock caused by invasive Conclusion: In this case, pathogen-binding hemoperfusion with the Seraph® 100 filter was technically feasible and temporally associated with hemodynamic and metabolic improvement in refractory pediatric septic shock. Although causality cannot be established, these findings suggest a potential role for hemoperfusion as an adjunctive rescue therapy in selected cases. Further prospective studies are needed to determine its safety, optimal timing, and clinical efficacy in pediatric populations.
