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

Background: Sepsis is one of the common causes of death in the neurological intensive care unit (NICU) stroke patients, the aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of blood biomarkers studied for the early diagnosis of sepsis in ICU hospitalized patients with acute moderate to severe stroke, and to establish a that is specifically used to predict the occurrence of sepsis or not after stroke. Methods: A prediction model was built including 157 patients with severe cerebrovascular disease [including acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or cerebral hemorrhage (ICH)] who had National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) >14 or Glasgow coma scale (GCS) <8 from January 2020 to November 2022 in NICU. Laboratory parameters and clinical characteristics of the patients were collected as well as Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) to detect blood biomarkers IL-10, MIP-1β, TNF-α, nNOS, iNOS, MMP-9, S-100β, and ET-1 within 48 h after symptom onset. Multi-factorial logistic regression was used to construct for predicting sepsis in patients with acute moderate-to-severe stroke, and internal validation was evaluated using bootstrap validation. The performance of the graph was assessed based on its calibration, discrimination, and clinical utility. Results: The prevalence of sepsis in acute moderate-to-severe stroke patients was 12.1%. The GCS scores of patients with comorbidity sepsis were all lower than those of patients without sepsis, and the NIHSS scores were higher than those of patients without sepsis. Logistic stepwise regression was performed to identify 4 variables Hyperlipidaemia (
