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

backgroundVentilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a major public health problem and is most commonly caused by

methodsConsecutively sampled patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) for pulmonary infection treatment were enrolled in this study. Demographic information and biochemical measurements were collected. Serum samples were obtained following overnight fasting on admission. Bronchoscopies were performed and BALF samples were collected from each patient. Exosomes were extracted using kits from System Biosciences (SBI) and miRNA sequencing was performed. Non-targeted metabolomics were used to express metabolic profiles.

resultsWe found significant changes in the miRNA profiles of patients with Ab-VAP; these changes occurred in both BALF exosomal miRNA and serum exosomal miRNA. Gene Ontology analysis further identified the function of miRNA in system metabolism. Serum metabolomic profiles and ratios of biological significance were found to be differentially regulated in Ab-VAP patients. This differential regulation was correlated with the differential expression of miRNAs.

conclusionsOur data summarizes the dysregulation of serum metabolism and exosomal miRNA excretion that occurs in Ab-VAP patients. The correlation found between BALF exosomal miRNA and dysregulated metabolism, as indicated by the irregular expression of metabolites in the cellular metabolic pathway, highlights potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of Ab infection.
