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

Purpose: Sepsis is a serious life-threatening condition characterised by multi-organ failure due to a disturbed immune response caused by severe infection. The pathogenesis of sepsis is unclear. The aim of this article is to identify potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of sepsis to improve the survival of patients with sepsis. Methods: We downloaded 7 datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus database and screened the immune-related differential genes (IRDEGs). The related functions of IRDEGs were analyzed through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). CIBERSORT was used to evaluate the infiltration of the immune cells, and Pearson algorithm of R software was used to calculate the correlation between the immune cell content and gene expression to screen the genes most related to immune cells in sepsis group, which were intersected with IRDEGs to obtain common genes. Key genes were identified from common genes based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) greater than 0.8 in the 6 datasets. We then analyzed the predictive value of key genes in sepsis survival. Finally, we verified the expression of key genes in patients with sepsis by PCR analysis. Results: A total of 164 IRDEGs were obtained, which were associated mainly with inflammatory and immunometabolic responses. Ten key genes (IL1R2, LTB4R, S100A11, S100A12, SORT1, RASGRP1, CD3G, CD40LG, CD8A and PPP3CC) were identified with high diagnostic efficacy. Logistic regression analysis revealed that six of the key genes (LTB4R, S100A11, SORT1, RASGRP1, CD3G and CD8A) may affect the survival prognosis of sepsis. PCR analysis confirmed that the expression of seven key genes (IL1R2, S100A12, RASGRP1, CD3G, CD40LG, CD8A and PPP3CC) was consistent with microarray outcome. Conclusion: This study explored the immune and metabolic response mechanisms associated with sepsis, and identified ten potential diagnostic and six prognostic genes.
