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

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the most frequent form of irreversible interstitial pneumonia with unknown etiology, is characterized by massive remodeling of lung architecture and followed by progressive loss of lung function. However, the key regulatory genes and the specific signaling pathways involved in the onset and progression of IPF still remain unclear. The present study is aimed at investigating the key role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and transcription factors (TFs) involved in the pathogenesis of IPF through the integrated analysis of three gene expression profiles from the GEO dataset (GSE2052, GSE44723, and GSE24206). A total of 8483 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) including 988 upregulated and 7495 downregulated genes were filtered. Subsequently, following the intersection of these DEGs, 29 overlapping genes were identified and further analyzed using a bioinformatics approach. Furthermore, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was used to obtain 18 modules of related genes. The hub genes were identified through hypergeometric testing, which were closely associated with ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, the spliceosome, and the cell cycle. The significant difference was observed in the expression of these key genes, such as lncRNA MALAT1, E2F1, and YBX1, in the peripheral blood of IPF patients when compared with those normal control subjects by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. This study indicated that
