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

aimSepsis is a serious systemic inflammatory response. We aimed to construct a T cell-related diagnostic model for sepsis and uncover the underlying mechanisms.

methodsThrough downloading the single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and RNA-seq data from online source, a series of bioinformatics methods including principal component analysis (PCA), differential expression analysis, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was used for selection of the T cell-related signatures. Then a diagnostic model was constructed and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used for evaluation of the diagnostic ability. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were used for the function and pathways enrichment analysis. Metabolic flux analysis was performed to investigate the underlying metabolic mechanism. Finally, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced mouse sepsis model and LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophage cell sepsis model were utilized to investigate the PRF1-mediated glycolysis mechanism in sepsis.

resultsscRNA-seq emphasized the important roles of T cell especially CD8

conclusionA 15-gene T cell-related diagnostic model for sepsis is constructed and PRF1 is confirmed to be an effective indicator and therapeutic target for sepsis, mainly functions in glycolysis.
