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: Immunometabolic remodeling is central to sepsis, yet robust glycolysis-associated biomarkers and their cell-type context remain unclear. Methods: We integrated peripheral blood scRNA-seq (GSE175453) and a whole-blood microarray cohort (GSE100159). Glycolysis activity was scored by AUCell (HALLMARK_GLYCOLYSIS), hub genes were prioritized by LASSO/random forest/Boruta, communication was inferred by ligand-receptor analysis, and qRT-PCR was performed in CLP vs control mice. Results: Sepsis showed myeloid predominance and increased glycolysis scores, most evident in monocytes and plasma cells. Five candidates (GLRX, MDH1, MDH2, TGFBI, COPB2) displayed good discriminatory performance in bulk data; TGFBI was monocyte-enriched and centrally positioned in a dense communication network with B cells/plasma cells/neutrophils. qRT-PCR confirmed a significant between-group difference for TGFBI in the CLP model. Conclusions: These findings link enhanced glycolysis-associated programs to a monocyte-centered TGFBI communication pattern and prioritize TGFBI as a candidate biomarker for further validation in sepsis.
