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 and septic shock are life-threatening conditions associated with high mortality and limited treatment options. Rapid identification of patients at risk for worse outcomes and/or targeted therapeutics are needed. Elevated levels of renin and dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP3) individually have been associated with increased risk in septic shock, which may reflect an attenuated Angiotensin II response as DPP3 contributes to the metabolism of Angiotensin II. We applied an approach to distinguish both circulating renin and DPP3 concentrations at their clinically relevant threshold values for risk in septic shock patients of ≥ 180 pg/mL and ≥ 40 ng/mL, respectively. This analysis revealed four clinical phenotypes of patients with low risk (low renin/low DPP3), intermediate risk (high renin/low DPP3 or low renin/high DPP3) and those patients with the highest risk (high renin/high DPP3). We conclude that the subclassification of both circulating renin and DPP3 concentrations may better identify those patients at greater risk and inform more optimal treatment approaches.
