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

backgroundProgressive dilatation is responsible for significant mortality and morbidity in patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs). Studies have shown that the development and progression of TAAs are closely related to immune regulatory pathways and genes. Therefore, it is important to understand the immune regulatory mechanisms and biomarkers of TAA dilatation.

methodsSystematic bioinformatics analysis was applied, including linear models for microarray data (LIMMA) differential expression analyses, principal component analysis (PCA), immunocyte identification, and genetic function enrichment analysis.

resultsOur results showed that both aortic intima-media (AMed) and outer aortic adventitia (AAdv) tissues were closely associated with T cell activation during the process of tricuspid aortic valve (TAV)-associated TAA dilation. Additionally, the degree of infiltration of resting memory CD4+ T cells was linked to both AAdv and AMed vascular dilation. The core regulators PPTRC, IL1B, CD4, CD3G, and IL2RA were also identified and are closely related to resting memory CD4+ T cell infiltration in this pathological process.

conclusionsThe candidate genes PPTRC, IL1B, CD4, CD3G, and IL2RA were involved in the regulation of resting memory CD4 T cell tissue infiltration, which is closely related to the process of AAdv and AMed vascular dilation in TAV patients.
