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

backgroundSepsis is a serious clinical condition with a poor prognosis, despite improvements in diagnosis and treatment.Therefore, novel biomarkers are necessary that can help with estimating prognosis and improving clinical outcomes of patients with sepsis.

methodsThe gene expression profiles GSE54514 and GSE63042 were downloaded from the GEO database. DEGs were screened by t test after logarithmization of raw data; then, the common DEGs between the 2 gene expression profiles were identified by up-regulation and down-regulation intersection. The DEGs were analyzed using bioinformatics, and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) survival network was constructed using STRING. Survival curves were constructed to explore the relationship between core genes and the prognosis of sepsis patients based on GSE54514 data.

resultsA total of 688 common DEGs were identified between survivors and non-survivors of sepsis, and 96 genes were involved in survival networks. The crucial genes Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A (STAT5A), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (CEBPB), Myc proto-oncogene protein (MYC), and REL-associated protein (RELA) were identified and showed increased expression in sepsis survivors. These crucial genes had a positive correlation with patients' survival time according to the survival analysis.

conclusionsOur findings indicate that the genes STAT5A, CEBPB, MYC, and RELA may be important in predicting the prognosis of sepsis patients.
