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.
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
backgroundPersistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome (PIICS) is a post-critical illness characterized by sustained inflammation, immune suppression, and hypercatabolism, the mechanisms of which remain unclear. Coagulopathy, which frequently accompanies critical illness, has been suggested to be associated with PIICS; however, few studies have directly investigated this relationship. We hypothesized that the timing of onset of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), a representative form of coagulopathy, is associated with the development of PIICS and aimed to clarify their relationship.
methodsThis study included 100 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for ≥ 15 days. PIICS was defined as meeting at least two of the following: elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) level, decreased serum albumin (Alb) level, and decreased lymphocyte count. The primary outcome was the association between the timing of DIC and PIICS development. For each ICU day (days 1-15), risk ratios (RRs) for PIICS were calculated using 2 × 2 contingency tables comparing DIC-positive and DIC-negative patients, and statistical significance was assessed using Fisher's exact test. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate adjusted associations with PIICS development. Statistical analyses were performed via R software. Variables for logistic regression were selected based on previous literature and clinical relevance, with significance level set at p < 0.05.
resultsFrom approximately day 8 onward, the RR of PIICS in patients with DIC showed an increasing trend. In multivariable analysis, age, cumulative CRP level, and cumulative SOFA score were independently associated with PIICS development. The logistic regression model demonstrated good discrimination (AUC of 0.80).
conclusionsDIC occurring after approximately day 8 of ICU admission may be associated with an increased risk of PIICS development. These findings suggest that persistent coagulopathy during the middle phase of ICU stay may contribute to the pathogenesis of PIICS.
