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-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a life-threatening complication of sepsis, characterized by high mortality and prolonged hospitalization. Early diagnosis and effective therapy remain difficult despite extensive investigation. To address this, we developed an AI-driven integrative framework that combines a Transformer-based deep learning model with established machine learning techniques (LASSO, SVM-RFE, Random Forest and neural networks) to uncover complex, nonlinear interactions among gene-expression biomarkers. Analysis of normalized microarray data from GEO (GSE95233 and GSE69063) identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and KEGG/GO enrichment via clusterProfiler revealed key pathways in immune response, protein synthesis, and antigen presentation. By integrating multiple transcriptomic cohorts, we pinpointed 617 SA-AKI-associated DEGs-21 of which overlapped between sepsis and AKI datasets. Our Transformer-based classifier ranked five genes (
