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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease with its onset closely related to the growth of synovial fibroblasts (SFs), yet the genes involved in are few reported. In our study, we aimed to identify the OA-associated key gene and pathways via the single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis on SFs.scRNA-seq data of SFs from OA sufferers were accessed from GEO database, then the genes involved in were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA) and T-Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (TSNE) Analysis. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were performed to find the most enriched functions and pathways associated with marker genes and a PPI network was constructed to identify the key gene associated with OA occurrence.Findings revealed that marker genes in three cell types identified by TSNE were mainly activated in pathways firmly related to fibroblasts growth, such as extracellular matrix, immune and cell adhesion molecule binding-associated functions and pathways. Moreover, fibronectin1 (FN1) was validated as the key gene that was tightly related to the growth of SFs, as well as had the potential to play a key role in OA occurrence.Our study explored the key gene and pathways associated with OA occurrence, which were of great value in further investigation of OA diagnosis as well as pathogenesis.
