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

This study aimed to explore key regulatory connections underlying lung transplant rejection. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between rejection and stable lung transplantation (LTx) samples were screened using R package limma, followed by functional enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction network construction. Subsequently, a global triple network, including miRNAs, mRNAs, and transcription factors (TFs), was constructed. Furthermore, immune cell infiltration characteristics were analyzed to investigate the molecular immunology of lung transplant rejection. Finally, potential drug-target interactions were generated. In brief, 739 DEGs were found between rejection and stable LTx samples. PTPRC, IL-6, ITGAM, CD86, TLR8, TYROBP, CXCL10, ITGB2, and CCR5 were defined as hub genes. Eight TFs, including STAT1, SPIB, NFKB1, SPI1, STAT5A, RUNX1, VENTX, and BATF, and five miRNAs, including miR-335-5p, miR-26b-5p, miR-124-3p, miR-1-3p, and miR-155-5p, were involved in regulating hub genes. The immune cell infiltration analysis revealed higher proportions of activated memory CD4 T cells, follicular helper T cells, γδ T cells, monocytes, M1 and M2 macrophages, and eosinophils in rejection samples, besides lower proportions of resting memory CD4 T cells, regulatory T cells, activated NK cells, M0 macrophages, and resting mast cells. This study provided a comprehensive perspective of the molecular co-regulatory network underlying lung transplant rejection.
