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

Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease with an extensive geographical distribution and high mortality rate. To date, the role of SFTS virus (SFTSV) in urine is still elusive. We aimed to explore the relationship between urinary bunyavirus and acute kidney injury (AKI) and mortality in patients with SFTS. Methods: Urine samples were collected from 102 patients to quantify SFTSV load in urine (U-SFTSV). Patient renal function was evaluated on admission. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and logistic regression analysis were performed to evaluate the predictive value of U-SFTSV. Viral infectivity assays in Vero cells were performed from 10 urine samples. Results: The U-SFTSV level was positively correlated with SFTSV load in plasma (r = 0.624) and indicators of renal damage. The U-SFTSV level was identified as an independent risk factor for SFTS-associated AKI (odds ratio, 3.631; Conclusions: Our large cohort study identified that the U-SFTSV level is a novel convenient and noninvasive predictive biomarker for incidence of AKI and poor outcome of patients with SFTS. Urine specimens could be a source of SFTSV infection in humans.
