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 fatal disease referring to the presence of a known or strongly suspected infection coupled with systemic and uncontrolled immune activation causing multiple organ failure. However, current knowledge of the role of lncRNAs in sepsis is still extremely limited.

methodsWe performed an in silico investigation of the gene coexpression pattern for the patients response to all-cause sepsis in consecutive intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. Sepsis coexpression gene modules were identified using WGCNA and enrichment analysis. lncRNAs were determined as sepsis biomarkers based on the interactions among lncRNAs and the identified modules.

resultsTwenty-three sepsis modules, including both differentially expressed modules and prognostic modules, were identified from the whole blood RNA expression profiling of sepsis patients. Five lncRNAs, FENDRR, MALAT1, TUG1, CRNDE, and ANCR, were detected as sepsis regulators based on the interactions among lncRNAs and the identified coexpression modules. Furthermore, we found that CRNDE and MALAT1 may act as miRNA sponges of sepsis related miRNAs to regulate the expression of sepsis modules. Ultimately, FENDRR, MALAT1, TUG1, and CRNDE were reannotated using three independent lncRNA expression datasets and validated as differentially expressed lncRNAs.

conclusionThe procedure facilitates the identification of prognostic biomarkers and novel therapeutic strategies of sepsis. Our findings highlight the importance of transcriptome modularity and regulatory lncRNAs in the progress of sepsis.
