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

Hemoperfusion (HP) represents a treatment option for sepsis. This study evaluated Seraph-100 in septic patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after cardiac surgery due to infective endocarditis (IE). Thirteen septic patients were enrolled and treated by Seraph-100 hemoperfusion. Fiftenne patients, not treated by HP, represented a control group. Pathogens were assessed before (T0) and after 4 h of HP treatment (T4). The difference between the two- quantification cycle (Cq) values (T0 and T4), namely ∆Cq at the polymerase chain reaction, was a surrogate marker of pathogen removal. The bacterial load decreased after Seraph-100 HP, with a mean ∆Cq values of 4.6 ± 2.4, as corroborated by conventional haemoculture's results. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy analyses confirm the Seraph' adsorptive properties. Procalcitonin, C reactive protein and lactates significantly decreased, with a reduced ICU stay in the Seraph group. After HP, only 15% of patients had AKI requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT), significantly lower than that found in the control group (40%). The Seraph-100 HP induces a decrease of vasopressor doses, a hemodynamic stability and a reduction of AKI and RRT, improving the clinical course, reflected as a reduced ICU stay.
