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

We aimed to investigate the effects of Xuebijing (XBJ) combined with levosimendan on the immune function and coagulation function in patients with sepsis complicated by myocardial injury. This double-blind, randomized controlled trial involved 88 sepsis patients with myocardial injury, split into control (n = 44, levosimendan plus conventional therapy) and combination (n = 44, control group's treatment plus XBJ injection) groups. Primary outcomes: coagulation parameters [prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), platelet count (PLT), fibrinogen (Fib), and D-dimer (D-D)], immune function indicators (peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets: CD4+, CD8+, and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio). Secondary outcomes: inflammatory markers [procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α)], vascular endothelial function markers [endothelin-1 (ET-1), nitric oxide (NO), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), von Willebrand factor (vWF), and soluble thrombomodulin (sTM)], myocardial function biomarkers [cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), and B-type brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)], and hemodynamic parameter [heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and central venous pressure (CVP)]. Post-treatment, serum levels of PCT, CRP, TNF-α, ET-1, vWF, sTM, PT, APTT, D-D, CD8+, cTnI, CK-MB, BNP, and HR were lower in both groups, with further reductions in the combination group. Levels of NO, VEGF, PLT, Fib, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, MAP and CVP were higher in the combination group than in the control group (all P < 0.05). The combination of XBJ and levosimendan improves coagulation function, regulates immune function, enhances vascular endothelial function and hemodynamics, reduces inflammation, and alleviates myocardial injury.
