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

Septicemia triggers a profound systemic inflammatory response, ultimately leading to cellular senescence. Understanding the mechanisms underlying intercellular interactions associated with sepsis is crucial for developing therapeutic strategies targeting sepsis and its associated complications. Neonatal septicemia (NS) is a critical condition characterized by systemic infection in newborns. Currently, there are no effective indicators for the early identification of sepsis and precise screening of newborns who truly require antibiotic treatment, which results in delayed diagnosis of neonatal sepsis and the overuse of antibiotics. We aimed to elucidate cellular senescence-related genes (CSRGs) in the context of NS and to investigate their potential regulatory networks and immune infiltration patterns. Our analysis identified 391 DEGs, including 301 upregulated and 90 downregulated genes and 15 differentially expressed CSRGs (CSRDEGs), including STAT3, MAPK14, IGFBP7, PPARG, and ETS2. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses revealed enrichment in biological processes, including cellular senescence, and pathways involving PD-L1 expression in cancer. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis highlighted significant pathways, including selenoamino acid metabolism and neutrophil degranulation. Protein-protein interaction network analysis identified eight hub genes: STAT3, MAPK14, CEBPB, TLR2, ETS1, JUNB, PPARG, and MAP3K5. Regulatory network analysis revealed interactions between CSRDEGs and multiple transcription factors/miRNAs. Immune infiltration analysis revealed profound differences in the composition of immune cells between the normal and NS groups. Our study findings offer valuable information for future research on therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers of NS.
