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: This study explored novel biomarkers for diagnosing sepsis, a severe disease prevalent in clinical settings, particularly threatening to elderly patients. Methods: Using microarray gene expression datasets and fatty acid metabolism signatures, we identified differentially expressed genes between sepsis and healthy control groups. Correlations between candidate genes, immune cells, and immune function were assessed. Logistic regression analysis and single-gene GSEA analysis were performed to identify potential biomarkers. The biomarkers' association with different types of tumors was investigated. Results: Twelve genes related to fatty acid metabolism were excluded. CA4, OLAN, and VNN1 were found relevant to immune cells and function. Among these, only VNN1 showed statistical significance ( Conclusion: VNN1 holds promise as a potential biomarker for sepsis diagnosis and is significant in identifying immune infiltration in tumor tissue and predicting tumor prognosis.
