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

backgroundSevere fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a rapidly progressing infectious disease with a high fatality rate caused by a novel bunyavirus (SFTSV). The role of lipids in viral infections is well-documented; however, the specific alterations in lipid metabolism during SFTSV infection remain elusive. This study aims to elucidate the lipid metabolic dysregulations in the early stages of SFTS patients.

methodsThis study prospectively collected peripheral blood sera from 11 critical SFTS patients, 37 mild SFTS patients, and 23 healthy controls during the early stages of infection for lipidomics analysis. A systematic bioinformatics analysis was conducted from three aspects integrating lipid differential expressions, lipid differential correlations, and lipid-clinical indices correlations to reveal the serum lipid metabolic dysregulation in SFTSV-infected individuals.

resultsOur findings reveal significant lipid metabolic dysregulation in SFTS patients. Specifically, compared to healthy controls, SFTS patients exhibited three distinct modes of lipid differential expression: increased levels of lipids including phosphatidylserine (PS), hexosylceramide (HexCer), and triglycerides (TG); decreased levels of lipids including lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), acylcarnitine (AcCa), and cholesterol esters (ChE); and lipids showing "dual changes" including phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Finally, based on lipid metabolic pathways and literature analysis, we systematically elucidated the potential mechanisms underlying lipid metabolic dysregulation in the early stage of SFTSV infection.

conclusionsOur study presents the first global serum lipidome profile and reveals the lipid metabolic dysregulation patterns in the early stage of SFTSV infection. These findings provide a new basis for the diagnosis, treatment, and further investigation of the disease.
