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

backgroundSeptic cardiomyopathy (SCM) is a potentially fatal complication of sepsis. In this study, transcriptomic and proteomic analyzes of serum samples from sepsis patients were conducted to uncover the underlying pathological mechanisms and identify potential therapeutic targets for SCM.

methodsThis retrospective, dual-center study investigated the progression of sepsis to SCM in patients admitted to intensive care units. A total of 50 patients were enrolled and divided into two groups: sepsis with cardiomyopathy (25 cases) and sepsis without cardiomyopathy (25 cases). Co-expression network analysis was employed to elucidate the biological significance of differentially expressed proteins. By integrating proteomic and transcriptomic data, molecular networks were constructed to visualize interactions among key molecules, aiming to enhance data interpretation and support the study's findings.

resultsProteomic analysis identified 216 differentially expressed proteins (Fold change > 1.5, p-value < 0.05) between the two groups. Transcriptomic analysis revealed two proteins, including Interleukin-27 subunit beta (IL-27B) and carbonic anhydrase, co-downregulated in patients with septic cardiomyopathy. IL-27B was associated with the immune response, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis indicated its involvement in the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction signaling pathway.

conclusionComprehensive integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyzes identified significant changes in protein expression associated with SCM, primarily associated with inflammation-related pathways and amino acid metabolism. These findings provide new insights into the pathological mechanisms of SCM and highlight potential therapeutic targets for its treatment.

trial registrationThe Clinical Research Ethics Committee of Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University approved this study, and written informed consent was given by all patients or their legal representatives. (NO.K20201110).
