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 is defined as an organ dysfunction syndrome and it has high mortality worldwide. This study analysed the proteome of serum from patients with sepsis to characterize the pathological mechanism and pathways involved in sepsis. A total of 59 patients with sepsis were enrolled for quantitative proteomic analysis. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to construct a co-expression network specific to sepsis. Key regulatory modules that were detected were highly correlated with sepsis patients and related to multiple functional groups, including plasma lipoprotein particle remodeling, inflammatory response, and wound healing. Complement activation was significantly associated with sepsis-associated encephalopathy. Triglyceride/cholesterol homeostasis was found to be related to sepsis-associated acute kidney injury. Twelve hub proteins were identified, which might be predictive biomarkers of sepsis. External validation of the hub proteins showed their significantly differential expression in sepsis patients. This study identified that plasma lipoprotein processes played a crucial role in sepsis patients, that complement activation contributed to sepsis-associated encephalopathy, and that triglyceride/cholesterol homeostasis was associated with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury.
