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

Heatstroke is associated with immune system disturbances, which was similar to sepsis and aseptic inflammation. This study characterized the immune landscape of heatstroke and compared it to sepsis or aseptic inflammation in order to identify heatstroke-specific characteristics. We prospectively recruited 40 patients with heatstroke as well as the same number of age- and sex-matched healthy controls, patients with sepsis, or cardiopulmonary bypass-induced aseptic inflammation. Blood from the four groups was collected to perform spectral flow cytometry, single-cell RNA sequencing and protein chip assay to compare the profiles of T cells, B cells, monocytes, and natural killer cells. In patients with heatstroke, the relative abundance of TLR4
