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

backgroundAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is one of the leading causes of death in patients with sepsis. As such, early and accurate identification of sepsis-related ARDS is critical.

methodsBioinformatic analysis was used to explore the GEO datasets. ELISA method was used to detect the plasma or cellular supernatant of relevant proteins. Quantitative real-time PCR was used for mRNA measurements and Western blot was applied for protein measurements. Immunohistochemistry staining and Immunofluorescence staining were used to identify the localization of OLFM4. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model was used to establish sepsis model.

resultsThe bioinformatic analysis results identified ten genes (

conclusionOLFM4 may regulate the pro-inflammatory response of lung epithelial cells in sepsis-related ARDS by modulating metabolic disorders; this result could provide new insights into the treatment of sepsis-induced ARDS.
