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

This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of miR-193b-5p and miR-511-5p in sepsis and septic shock from the perspective of immune regulation. Initially, serum exosomal miRNA sequencing was conducted on patients with sepsis (n = 6), septic shock (n = 6), and healthy controls (n = 3). Using bioinformatics analysis, miR-193b-5p and miR-511-5p were identified as immune-related miRNAs differentiating sepsis from septic shock. Subsequently, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to validate the identified miRNAs in a cohort of 90 participants, including 30 patients with sepsis, 30 with septic shock, and 30 general surgery patients serving as controls. The results indicated that miR-193b-5p expression level was significantly reduced in septic patients and septic shock patients compared with healthy controls. Both miR-193b-5p and miR-511-5p exhibited diagnostic potential, distinguishing sepsis from the control group, with area under the curve values of 0.797 and 0.795, respectively (P < 0.05). Furthermore, miR-193b-5p expression level was inversely correlated with C-reactive protein level (r = -0.40, P < 0.001), procalcitonin level (r = -0.31, P = 0.003), and interleukin-6 level (r = -0.39, P < 0.001). A positive correlation was identified between miR-193b-5p and lymphocyte count (r = 0.26, P = 0.014). In conclusion, serum miR-193b-5p demonstrated potential as a diagnostic biomarker for sepsis and was associated with inflammation and immune regulation in sepsis.
