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

Introduction: Sepsis is the leading cause of death in intensive care units and is characterized by multiple organ failure, including dysfunction of the immune system. In the present study, we performed an integrative analysis on publicly available datasets to identify immune-related genes (IRGs) that may play vital role in the pathological process of sepsis, based on which a prognostic IRG signature for 28-day mortality prediction in patients with sepsis was developed and validated. Methods: Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), Cox regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) estimation were used to identify functional IRGs and construct a model for predicting the 28-day mortality. The prognostic value of the model was validated in internal and external sepsis datasets. The correlations of the IRG signature with immunological characteristics, including immune cell infiltration and cytokine expression, were explored. We finally validated the expression of the three IRG signature genes in blood samples from 12 sepsis patients and 12 healthy controls using qPCR. Results: We established a prognostic IRG signature comprising three gene members ( Discussion: This study presents an innovative IRG signature for 28-day mortality prediction in sepsis patients, which may be used to facilitate stratification of risky sepsis patients and evaluate patients' immune state.
