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

At present, there are currently no molecular biomarkers for the early diagnosis of sepsis cardiomyopathy (SCM) in clinical practice. This study focuses on an in-depth examination of the DNA hydroxymethylation profiles within plasma extracellular vesicles and explores potential molecular biomarkers during the process of SCM. The 5hmC-Seal sequencing technology was utilized to examine the hydroxymethylation modifications of extracellular vesicles DNAs in 13 patients with septic cardiomyopathy, 18 patients with sepsis without cardiomyopathy, and 8 patients without sepsis. Additionally, a diagnostic model was constructed using machine learning methods based on the differential hydroxymethylation modifications to screen for candidate biomarkers. The accuracy of the diagnostic model was 0.962, with a sensitivity and specificity of 92.3% and 88.89%, respectively. Furthermore, the diagnostic accuracy was validated using the GEO dataset, with an accuracy rate reaching 1 (GSE79962 and GSE66890), and the differential diagnostic accuracy rates also reached 0.959 and 0.944 (GSE79962). Together, the results suggest that extracellular vesicles DNAs hydroxymethylation markers can be used for diagnosis of septic cardiomyopathy.
