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

aimEarly diagnosis of paediatric sepsis is crucial for the proper treatment of children and reduction of hospitalization and mortality. Biomarkers are a convenient and effective method for diagnosing any disease. However, huge differences among the studies reporting biomarkers for diagnosing sepsis have limited their clinical application. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of key genes involved in paediatric sepsis based on the data of the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

methodsWe used the GSE119217 dataset to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between patients with and without paediatric sepsis. The most relevant gene modules of paediatric sepsis were screened through the weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA). Common genes (CGs) were found between DEGs and WGCNA. Genes with a potential diagnostic value in paediatric sepsis were selected from the CGs using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and support vector machine recursive feature elimination. The principal component analysis, receiver operating characteristic curves, and C-index were used to verify the diagnostic value of the identified genes in six other independent sepsis datasets. Subsequently, a meta-analysis of the selected genes was performed to evaluate the value of these genes as biomarkers in paediatric sepsis.

resultsA total of 41 CGs were selected from the GSE119217 dataset. A four-gene signature composed of

conclusionThe four-gene signature can be used as new biomarkers to distinguish patients with paediatric sepsis from healthy individuals.
