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

Purpose: Sepsis, a life-threatening condition with high mortality, is closely linked to energy metabolism (EM) and immune-inflammatory responses. However, the precise mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This research aims to identity EM-related genes (EMRGs) in sepsis and examine the diagnostic potential and molecular mechanisms through machine learning and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Methods: This study utilized the GSE65682 and GSE95233 datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) for analysis. Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) diagnostic analysis were applied to identify key EM-related genes. A sepsis model with overexpression of key genes was developed, and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) was employed to identify associated genes. Additionally, scRNA-seq was conducted to examine cell type distributions and gene expression profiles in sepsis. Results: ATM and PEA15 were identified as critical genes. Overexpression of PEA15 alleviated septic symptoms. In sepsis, alterations in immune cell infiltration, particularly T follicular helper cells, were correlated with key gene expression. Core genes (RSAD2, IFI44, MX1, IFIT3, and ISG15), closely associated with the key genes, were also identified. Single-cell analysis further delineated the cell type profiles and core gene expression patterns in sepsis. From a translational perspective, PEA15 addresses a critical gap in sepsis management. Its strong prognostic and diagnostic performance, validated through KM and ROC analyses, positions it as a promising biomarker for early sepsis detection-essential for improving patient outcomes through timely intervention. Conclusion: PEA15 and its associated core genes represent potential therapeutic targets: modulating PEA15 expression or targeting the underlying molecular network may help restore immune balance and reduce septic damage, offering a novel approach for targeted therapeutic strategies.
