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

backgroundNeonatal sepsis is characterized by an excessive immune response, often leading to multiple organ failure, including cardiac injury, and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in newborns. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of sepsis-induced cardiac injury is crucial for developing therapeutic strategies.

objectiveTo investigate transcriptomic changes and identify potential altered genes associated with cardiac injury in a neonatal sepsis model.

methodsA neonatal sepsis model was established by cecal slurry injection. RNA sequencing analysis was performed on cardiac tissues from sepsis and control groups, followed by functional enrichment analysis, including Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Interaction networks among mRNA, lncRNA, circRNA, and miRNA were constructed, and key regulatory genes were identified through protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis.

resultsA total of 1537 differentially expressed mRNAs, 287 lncRNAs, and 730 circRNAs were identified. Functional analysis revealed significant involvement in immune response and inflammatory regulation. PPI network analysis identified six key genes-Ccl5, Il-6, Pole, Mcm2, Mcm5, Mcm10-that were significantly expressed in sepsis-induced cardiac tissue. Additionally, lncRNAs and circRNAs were found to participate in myocardial injury by regulating immune and inflammatory pathways.

conclusionsThis study identified six key genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses, playing critical roles in sepsis-induced cardiac injury in neonates. These findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced cardiac injury and offer potential therapeutic targets.
