Research article proteomics-based plasma biomarkers for predicting CRKP infection in ICU sepsis patients.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: Early differentiation between carbapenem-resistant Methods: We performed plasma proteomic profiling of ICU sepsis patients infected with CRKP or CSKP using data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry. Significantly differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) underwent Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Disease Ontology (DO) functional annotation and enrichment analyses. Hub proteins were identified through protein-protein interaction network analysis. Protein biomarkers for constructing a diagnostic model by logistic regression analysis were further selected by XGboost and Lasso. The model was then evaluated for discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility by area under curve (AUC), the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test and calibration curve, and decision curve, respectively. Results: A total of 1,432 proteins and 13,482 peptides were identified in the plasma samples. Among these, 28 DEPs were detected, including 16 upregulated and 12 downregulated proteins. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that these DEPs were primarily associated with neural and cardiovascular pathways. Using a combination of XGBoost and LASSO algorithms, 10 protein biomarkers were selected to construct a diagnostic model. The proteins of the optimal diagnostic model included PLXNB1 and S100A1. Notably, a simplified two-protein model demonstrated excellent diagnostic accuracy with an AUC exceeding 0.90 in both training and testing cohorts. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test yielded p-values of 0.825 and 0.295 in the training and testing sets, respectively, indicating good model calibration. Conclusion: PLXNB1 and S100A1 serve as promising plasma biomarkers for early, non-culture-based differentiation of CRKP and CSKP infections. Their integration into clinical workflows could improve rapid diagnosis and guide targeted therapy in critically ill sepsis patients.
