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

In this study, we integrated the gene expression data of sepsis to reveal more precise genome-wide expression signature to shed light on the pathological mechanism of sepsis. Differentially expressed genes via integrating five microarray datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database were obtained. The gene function and involved pathways of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected by GeneCodis3. Transcription factors (TFs) targeting top 20 dysregulated DEGs (including up- and downregulated genes) were found based on the TRANSFAC. A total of 1339 DEGs were detected including 788 upregulated and 551 downregulated genes. These genes were mostly involved in DNA-dependent transcription regulation, blood coagulation, and innate immune response, pathogenic escherichia coli infection, epithelial cell signaling in helicobacter pylori infection, and chemokine signaling pathway. TFs bioinformatic analysis of 20 DEGs generated 374 pairs of TF-target gene involving 47 TFs. At last, we found that five top ten upregulated DEGs (S100A8, S100A9, S100A12, PGLYRP1 and MMP9) and three downregulated DEGs (ZNF84, CYB561A3 and BST1) were under the regulation of three hub TFs of Pax-4, POU2F1, and Nkx2-5. The identified eight DEGs may be regarded as the diagnosis marker and drug target for sepsis.
