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

Introduction: Sepsis patients with diabetes are at a high clinical risk. It is well reported that XueBiJing injection has good clinical benefit in sepsis individuals. However, there is no relevant report about the efficacy and safety of XBJ in sepsis patients with comorbid diabetes. Methods: Data of two large randomized controlled clinical trials (XBJ-SAP (ChiCTR-TRC-13003534) and EXIT-SEP (NCT0323874)) were combined, and Results: At the study baseline, a total of 378 sepsis patients (227 men [60.0%] and 151 women [40.0%]; mean [SD] age, 60.3 [11.1] years) were considered to have diabetes, of which 177 received XBJ and 201 received placebo administration. Among these sepsis patients with diabetes, the mortality at 28 days was significantly lower in the XBJ group than in the placebo group (29 of 173 patients [16.8%] vs. 56 of 198 patients [28.3%], Discussion: The present study underscores the pivotal role of XBJ in modulating the immune response among sepsis patients suffering from diabetes mellitus, exploring the positive effects of XBJ on sepsis patients with diabetes mellitus. The efficacy and safety of XBJ compared with those of the placebo were consistent with the overall trial findings, demonstrating that XBJ is efficacious in sepsis patients with diabetes and suggesting that there is no need for special safety precautions. Trial Registration Identifier: ChiCTR-TRC-13003534 and NCT0323874.
