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

The prevention and treatment of staphylococcus aureus septicemia is one of the thorniest problems in modern medicine. However, as the underlying pathogenesis of sepsis is still unclear, there is currently no golden standard for clinical diagnosis. In this study, we used GSE33341 dataset for differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis and screened out 857 differentially expressed genes associated with staphylococcus aureus infection. The module having the highest correlation with clinical features of sepsis was screened by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The genes in the selected module and the differentially expressed genes were represented in Venn diagram, and 59 pathogenic genes at the intersection were obtained. GO and KEGG analysis showed that these genes were mainly related to aerobic respiration, cellular stress response, mitochondrial electron transport, mitochondrial transport, oxidative phosphorylation. Kaplan-Meier was used to analyze the influence of the top 10 key genes on the prognosis of sepsis patients. The results showed that the high expression of NDUFA4, NDUFB3, COX7A2, ATP5J and COX7C was significantly correlated with the poor overall survival (OS) in patients with bacterial sepsis. These findings may potentially provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial septicemia.
