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

Due to limited sepsis patient cohort size and extreme heterogeneity, only one significant locus and suggestive associations at several independent loci were implicated by three genome-wide association studies. However, genes from such suggestive loci may also provide crucial information to unravel genetic mechanisms that determine sepsis heterogeneity. Therefore, in this study, we made use of integrative approaches to prioritize genes and pathways affected by sepsis associated genetic variants. By integrating expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) results from the largest whole-blood eQTL database, cytokine QTLs from pathogen-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), publicly available blood transcriptome data from pneumoniae-derived sepsis patients, and transcriptome data from pathogen-stimulated PBMCs, we identified 55 potential genes affected by 39 independent loci. By performing pathway enrichment analysis at these loci we found enrichment of genes for adherences-junction pathway. Finally, we investigated the functional role of the only one GWAS significant SNP rs4957796 on sepsis survival in altering transcription factor binding affinity in monocytes and endothelial cells. We also found that transient deficiency of
