Diagnostic and Prognostic Values of BMPER in Patients with Urosepsis following Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy.
Article in BioMed research international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The present study aims to investigate the risk factors for urosepsis and the diagnostic and prognostic values of the bone morphogenetic protein endothelial cell precursor-derived regulator (BMPER) in patients with urosepsis following ureteroscopic lithotripsy. A total of 305 patients with unilateral ureteral obstruction caused by calculi were included in the study. Patients were divided into three groups, namely, high, medium, and low perfusion pressure groups. The serum C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, lactate (LAC), and BMPER were measured after operation. A logistic regression model was used to assess the risk factors for postoperative urosepsis. The relationships of BMPER with laboratory parameters were explored with a multiple linear regression model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to diagnosis urosepsis. The cumulative incidence of the adverse events after operation was calculated and compared by log-rank test. Forty-five patients (14.8%) had an episode of urosepsis after operation. Irrigation pressure was an independent risk factor for urosepsis. LAC and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) were associated with BMPER after operation. The area under curve value of BMPER for urosepsis was 0.829 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.773 to 0.884). Uroseptic patients with higher BMPER concentration exhibited more adverse outcome. BMPER possesses valuable discriminative capacity for urosepsis and is a strong predictor of adverse outcome in patients with urosepsis.
