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

backgroundThis study aimed to assess the correlation of long noncoding (lnc) RNA intersectin (ITSN) 1-2 expression with disease risk, severity, inflammation, and survival in sepsis patients.

methodsThree hundred and nine intensive care unit (ICU)-treated sepsis patients and 300 healthy controls were consecutively recruited in this study. Blood samples were collected from all sepsis patients within 24 hours after admitted to ICU and from healthy controls at the time of health screening, and the expression of lncRNA ITSN1-2 in plasma was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Disease severity was assessed by physicians using acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score on day 1 after ICU admission. Additionally, the plasma inflammatory cytokines (including tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and IL-17) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits.

resultslncRNA ITSN1-2 was highly expressed in sepsis patients compared to healthy controls and could differentiate sepsis patients from healthy controls with area under the curve (AUC) 0.777 (95% CI: 0.740-0.813). lncRNA ITSN1-2 expression was positively correlated with APACHE II score, C-reactive protein (CRP), TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 levels, but negatively correlated with IL-10 level. In addition, lncRNA ITSN1-2 was highly expressed in non-survivors compared to survivors and could distinguish survivors from non-survivors in sepsis patients with AUC 0.654 (95% CI: 0.581-0.726).

conclusionCirculating lncRNA ITSN1-2 is upregulated, and its high expression associates with increased disease severity and inflammation as well as poor prognosis in sepsis patients.
