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

PATIENTS AND

methodIn this study the effect of antioxidative therapy with sodium selenite was investigated in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (S. I. R. S.) and multiple organ failure. 40 patients were included in this prospective randomized study. The patients were observed over a period of 28 days. The letality rate within 28 days was excepted as main criteria. The Apache-II and the MOF-Score of Goris were used as clinical parameters. 20 patients were treated with sodium selenite over a period of 28 days.

resultThis antioxidative therapy reduced the letality rate from 40 to 15%.
