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

Background: The immune infiltration and molecular mechanisms underlying septic cardiomyopathy (SC) have not been completely elucidated. This study aimed to identify key genes related to SC and elucidate the potential molecular mechanisms. Methods: The weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), linear models for microarray analysis (LIMMA), protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, CIBERSORT, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway (KEGG), and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were applied to assess the key pathway and hub genes involved in SC. Results: We identified 10 hub genes, namely, LRG1, LCN2, PTX3, E LANE, TCN1, CLEC4D, FPR2, MCEMP1, CEACAM8, and CD177. Furthermore, we used GSEA for all genes and online tools to explore the function of the hub genes. Finally, we took the intersection between differential expression genes (DEGs) and hub genes to identify LCN2 and PTX3 as key genes. We found that immune-related pathways played vital roles in SC. LCN2 and PTX3 were key genes in SC progression, which mainly showed an anti-inflammatory effect. The significant immune cells in cardiomyocytes of SC were neutrophils and M2 macrophages. Conclusion: These cells may have the potential to be prognostic and therapeutic targets in the clinical management of SC. Excessive anti-inflammatory function and neutrophil infiltration are probably the primary causes of SC.
