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

Sepsis is an insidious and frequent condition of severe inflammation due to infections. Several biomarkers have been established for initial screening, but the non-specific nature of the existing biomarkers has led to the investigation of more sensitive and specific tools, such as microRNAs (miRs). These non-coding RNAs are involved in several diseases, including sepsis, due to their roles in cellular homeostasis. Herein, a literature overview was attempted to distinguish the most prominent miRs identified in septic conditions and their usefulness in diagnosis, prognosis and even classification of sepsis. miRs implicated in the regulation of pro and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, such as MIR-146a, MIR-155, MIR-181b, MIR-223-5p, MIR-494-3p, MIR-2055b, MIR-150 and MIR-143 have been pinpointed as acceptable testing tools. Furthermore, the use of miRs as screening panels, specific for septic parameters, such as type of causal infection, inflammation immune pathways affected (NF-kB, STAT/JACK), organs inflicted, as well as parallel screening of certain miRs alongside other long non-coding RNAs (LNCs), as co-regulators of sepsis progression. Overall, miRs exhibit benefits in terms of specificity and sensitivity, as well as practical ease of use and test stability. Furthermore, miRs could offer valuable insights into the molecular basis of disease causality and provide valuable therapeutic information.
