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

Circulatory secretory non-pancreatic phospholipase A2 (snp-PLA2) was measured prospectively at the onset (day 0) of severe sepsis in 52 patients as well as on day 1 and 2 in 25 patients, in order to answer two questions: 1) does the snp-PLA2 plasma concentration differ according to the type and severity of infection? 2) what is the relation between snp-PLA2 and other mediators involved in severe sepsis, such as endotoxin, cytokines (TNF alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6) and thromboxane B2 (the stable metabolite of thromboxane A2)? On day 0, the snp-PLA2 circulatory level was 78 +/- 17 nmol/min/ml in patients with severe sepsis as compared to 3.5 +/- 2 nmol/min/ml in 40 healthy volunteers. There was no statistical difference according to the outcome, the presence of shock, or the type of infection on day 0. However, snp-PLA2 remained elevated or even increased in patients who ultimately died, while it decreased in survivors (p = 0.01 by ANOVA). The cytokine profiles during the 2-day follow-up were similar to that of snp-PLA2, but the differences were not statistically significant between survivors and non-survivors. No correlation was found between snp-PLA2 and other mediators for either initial or peak values.
