Gene set enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction network analysis after sciatic nerve injury.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundPeripheral nerves are able to regenerate spontaneously after injury. An increasing number of studies have investigated the mechanism of peripheral nerve regeneration and attempted to find potential therapeutic targets. The various bioinformatics analysis tools available, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks can effectively screen the crucial targets of neuroregeneration.
methodsGSEA and PPI networks were constructed through ingenuity pathway analysis and sequential gene expression validation
resultsImmune response and the activation of related canonical pathways were classified as crucial biological events. Additionally, neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4-like (NEDD4L), neuregulin 1 (NRG1), nuclear factor of activated T cells 2 (NFATC2), midline 1 (MID1), GLI family zinc finger 2 (GLI2), and ventral anterior homeobox 1 (VAX1), which were jointly involved in both immune response and axonal regeneration, were screened and their mRNA and protein expressions following nerve injury were validated. Among them, the expression of VAX1 continuously increased following nerve injury, and it was considered to be a potential therapeutic target.
conclusionsThe combined use of GSEA and PPI networks serves as a valuable way to identify potential therapeutic targets for neuroregeneration.
