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

The current study aimed to identify therapeutic gene and microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers for diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The public expression profile GSE30122 was used. Following data preprocessing, the limma package was used to select differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) in DKD glomeruli samples and tubuli samples and they were compared with corresponding controls. Then overlapping DEGs in glomeruli and tubuli were identified and enriched analysis was performed. In addition, protein‑protein interaction (PPI) network analysis as well as sub‑network analysis was conducted. miRNAs of the overlapping DEGs were investigated using WebGestal. A total of 139 upregulated and 28 downregulated overlapping DEGs were selected, which were primarily associated with pathways involved in extracellular matrix (ECM)‑receptor interactions and cytokine‑cytokine receptor interactions. CD44, fibronectin 1, C‑C motif chemokine ligand 5 and C‑X‑C motif chemokine receptor 4 were four primary nodes in the PPI network. miRNA (miR)‑17‑5p, miR‑20a and miR‑106a were important and nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 3 (NR4A3), protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type O (PTPRO) and Kruppel like factor 9 (KLF9) were all predicted as target genes of the three miRNAs in the integrated miRNA‑target network. Several genes were identified in DKD, which may be involved in pathways such as ECM‑receptor interaction and cytokine‑cytokine receptor interaction. Three miRNAs may also be used as biomarkers for therapy of DKD, including miR‑17‑5p, miR‑20a and miR‑106a, with the predicted targets of NR4A3, PTPRO and KLF9.
