Common Genes Involved in Autophagy, Cellular Senescence and the Inflammatory Response in AMD and Drug Discovery Identified via Biomedical Databases.
Article in Translational vision science & technology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Purpose: Retinal pigment epithelial cell autophagy dysfunction, cellular senescence, and the retinal inflammatory response are key pathogenic factors in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which has been reviewed in our previously work in 2019. This study aims to identify genes collectively involved in these three biological processes and target drugs in AMD. Methods: The pubmed2ensembl database was used to perform text mining. The GeneCodis database was applied to analyze gene ontology biological process and the KEGG pathway. The STRING database was used to analyze protein-protein interaction analysis and hub genes were identified by the Cytoscape software. The Drug Gene Interaction Database was used to perform drug-gene interactions. Results: We identified 62 genes collectively involved in AMD, autophagy, cellular senescence, and inflammatory response, 19 biological processes including 42 genes, 11 enriched KEGG pathways including 37 genes, and 12 hub genes step by step via the above biomedical databases. Finally, five hub genes (IL-6, VEGF-A, TP53, IL-1β, and transforming growth factor [TGF]-β1) and their specific interaction modes were identified, corresponding with 24 target drugs with therapeutic potential for AMD. Conclusions: IL-6, VEGF-A, TP53, IL-1β, and TGF-β1 are pivotal in autophagy, cellular senescence, and the inflammatory response in AMD, corresponding with 24 drugs with therapeutic potential for AMD, providing definite molecular mechanisms for further research and new possibilities for AMD treatment in the future. Translational Relevance: IL-6, VEGF-A, TP53, IL-1β, and TGF-β1 may be new targets for AMD gene therapy and drug development.
