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

Background: Identifying novel biomarkers for sepsis is essential for improving patient outcomes. Cuproptosis, a recently discovered form of cell death associated with various diseases, has an unclear relationship with sepsis. This study aimed to elucidate the expression patterns of cuproptosis-related genes(CRGs) in sepsis, identifying potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Methods: We investigated the expression patterns of cuproptosis-related genes in sepsis and performed consensus clustering. A diagnostic model for sepsis was constructed using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) combined with four machine learning algorithms. Prognosis-related genes were identified via Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and validated in septic mice. Results: We identified 28 differentially expressed CRGs and characterized a specific immune landscape. Our findings showed that sepsis samples could be divided into two clusters based on CRGs expression. We established a diagnostic model based on five key genes(SHKBP1,ICAM2,CTSD,SNX3, and SLC22A4), and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that SHKBP1 was significantly correlated with both the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis. Conclusion: Our study provides a comprehensive analysis of CRGs expression in sepsis, establishes a diagnostic model, and identifies SHKBP1 as a biomarker for both diagnosis and prognosis prediction, offering new insights for sepsis management.
