Genetic correlation analysis between sepsis and hematological traits: Identifying shared genomic regions.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundSepsis, dysregulated cascades of inflammatory response to infection, remains a critical clinical condition, leading to morbidity and mortality. Better understanding of the genetic basis underlying sepsis has the potential to better prevent and treat this potentially life-threatening condition. Recent studies have identified genetic variants for sepsis and accumulated evidence for the relevance of hematological traits. However, genetic correlation analysis, testing the hypothesis of shared genetic underpinning of sepsis and hematological traits, as well as identifying shared specific genetic regions, is lacking.
methodIn this study, we systematically evaluated the extent and statistical significance of global genetic correlation between sepsis and a comprehensive battery of 29 hematological traits, as well as performed local genetic correlation analysis to pinpoint the shared genomic regions.
resultsOur analyses revealed significant global genetic correlation between sepsis and five red blood cell indices. Local genetic correlation analyses identified 6-21 genomic regions with lengths ranging from 1.4kb to 5.6Mb shared between sepsis and seven hematological traits.
conclusionOur findings improve our general understanding of the shared genetics between sepsis and different categories of blood cell traits, and have the potential to advance personalized medicine for sepsis.
