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

The understanding of mechanism during conversion from sepsis to sepsis-related ARDS remains limited. In this study, we collected gene expression matrix from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and constructed networks using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to identify the consensus and opposite modules between sepsis and sepsis-induced ARDS and obtained 27 consensus modules associated with sepsis and sepsis-related ARDS, including one model (160 genes) with opposite correlation and 1 sepsis-ARDS specific model with 34 genes. Differentially expressed genes analysis, functional enrichment and protein-protein interactions analyses of candidate genes were performed; 15 of these genes showed different expressions in sepsis-induced ARDS patients, compared with sepsis patients; genes were enriched in processes associated with ribosome, tissue mechanics and extracellular matrix. Feature selection analysis revealed that three genes,
