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

Sepsis accounts for more than 50% of all acute kidney injury (AKI) cases, and the combination of sepsis and AKI increases the risk of mortality from sepsis alone. However, to the best of our knowledge, the specific mechanism by which sepsis causes AKI has not yet been fully elucidated, and there is no targeted therapy for sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI). The present study investigated gene expression profiles using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and bioinformatics analyses to assess the function of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and the molecular mechanisms relevant to the prognosis of SA-AKI. From the bioinformatics analysis, 2,256 downregulated and 3,146 upregulated genes were identified (false discovery rate <0.1 and fold-change >2). Gene Ontology analysis revealed that the genes were enriched in cellular metabolic processes, cell death and apoptosis. The enriched transcription factors were v-rel reticuloendotheliosis viral oncogene homolog A and signaling transducer and activator of transcription 3. The enriched microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) among the DEGs were miR-30e, miR-181a, miR-340, miR-466d and miR-466l. Furthermore, the enriched pathways included toll-like receptor signaling, nod-like receptor signaling and the Janus kinase/STAT signaling pathway. In conclusion, the present study identified certain prognosis-related genes, transcription factors, miRNAs and pathways by analyzing gene expression profiles of SA-AKI using RNA-Seq, which provides some basis for future experimental studies.
