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

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has recently been linked with sepsis outcomes. However, the immune mechanisms by which MASLD aggravates sepsis severity are unknown. This prospective cohort study aimed to analyze serum cytokine and chemokine kinetics in patients with MASLD and community-acquired sepsis. Out of the 124 patients, 68 (55%) were diagnosed with MASLD. There were no differences in age, sex, comorbidities, baseline sepsis severity, or etiology between the groups. Serum concentrations of 27 cytokines and chemokines on admission and day 5 of hospitalization were analyzed using a multiplex bead-based assay. Patients with MASLD had significantly higher serum concentrations of IL17A, IL-23, IL-33, CXCL10 and TGF-β1. Different cytokine kinetics were observed; patients with MASLD had a decrease in IL-10, IL-23, CXCL10 and TGF-β1, and an increase in IL-33, CXCL5 and CXCL1 on day 5. In the non-MASLD group, there was a decrease in IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-23 and CCL20, and an increase in CCL11 and CXCL5. While TGF-β1 significantly increased in non-MASLD, in MASLD, it decreased on day 5. Kinetics of TGF- β1 and CCL11 were associated with mortality in patients with MASLD. In conclusion, MASLD is linked with distinct cytokine and chemokine profiles during sepsis.
