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 set out to determine key lncRNAs correlated with sepsis via constructing competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network.

methodsThree septic patients and three healthy controls were recruited to obtain lncRNA profiles in this current study. Combined with the mRNA profiles by RNA-sequencing, an integrated analysis of mRNA expression profiles downloaded from GEO was performed to obtain the differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs). Based on differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and DEmRNAs acquired in this present study and differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) acquired in previous study, a ceRNA network was constructed. Furthermore, LINC00963 was validated in THP-1 cells by performing loss of function assays.

resultsIn this analysis, a total of 290 DEmRNAs and 46 DElncRNAs were detected in sepsis. Parkinson's disease, Oxidative phosphorylation and Cardiac muscle contraction were significantly enriched KEGG pathways in sepsis. XPO1, CUL4A, and NEDD8 were three hub proteins of sepsis-specific PPI network. A ceRNA network, which contained 16 DElncRNA-DEmiRNA pairs and 82 DEmiRNA-DEmRNA pairs, involving 5 lncRNAs, 10 miRNAs, and 60 mRNAs, was obtained. The function experiments indicated that knockdown of LINC00963 could promote cell proliferation, reduce cytokine expression, and suppress inflammasome activation and phagocytosis in LPS-induced THP-1 cells.

conclusionThis study determined key lncRNAs involved in sepsis, which may contribute to the development for novel treatment strategy of sepsis.
