Urinary microRNAs in sepsis function as a novel prognostic marker.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Renal dysfunction is a common complication of sepsis. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of sepsis with renal insufficiency are crucial for improving patient outcomes. Diagnostic markers can help identify patients at risk for sepsis and AKI, allowing for early intervention and potentially preventing the development of severe complications. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression difference of urinary microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) in elderly patients with sepsis and secondary renal insufficiency, and to evaluate their diagnostic value in these patients. In the present study, RNA was extracted from urine samples of elderly sepsis-related acute renal damage patients and the expression profiles of several miRNAs were analyzed. In order to evaluate the expression profile of several miRNAs, urine samples from elderly patients with acute renal damage brought on by sepsis were obtained. RNA extraction and sequencing were then performed on the samples. Furthermore, multiple bioinformatics methods were used to analyze miRNA profiles, including differential expression analysis, and Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis of different miRNA target genes, to further explore miRNAs that are suitable for utilization as biomarkers. A total of four miRNAs, including hsa-miR-31-5p, hsa-miR-151a-3p, hsa-miR-142-5p and hsa-miR-16-5p, were identified as potential biological markers and were further confirmed in sepsis using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The results of the present study demonstrated that the four urinary miRNAs were differentially expressed and may serve as specific markers for prediction of secondary acute kidney injury in elderly patients with sepsis.
