Diagnostic Value of Heparin-Binding Protein (HBP) in Pulmonary Infection After Radical Surgery for Lung Cancer: A Retrospective Study.

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.
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
Background and Aims: Heparin-binding protein (HBP) has the potential clinical utility in the early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of infectious diseases. We aimed to assess the early diagnostic value of HBP in combination with other biomarkers for detecting pulmonary infection post-surgery. Methods: We retrospectively included patients who underwent radical lung cancer surgery at the Shanghai Chest Hospital between January 2023 and August 2023. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify independent predictors for pulmonary infection after surgery. The diagnostic performance of HBP and other biomarkers was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: Among 292 patients, 31 (10.6%) developed pulmonary infection post-surgery, while 261 (89.4%) did not. The levels of HBP, white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-8 (IL-8) were significantly higher in the pulmonary infection group compared to the control group ( Conclusion: HBP is an independent predictor of pulmonary infection following radical lung cancer surgery. Combined monitoring of HBP, NLR, and CRP can aid in the early diagnosis of postoperative pulmonary infections, supporting clinical assessment and timely intervention.
