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

Preeclampsia (PE) is an important topic in obstetrics. In this study, we used weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to screen the key modules related to immune cell infiltration and to identify the hub genes for the molecular subtyping of PE. We first downloaded a set of PE transcriptional data (GSE75010; 157 samples: 80 PE and 77 non-PE) from the GEO database. We then analyzed the PE samples and non-PE samples for immune cell infiltration and screened cells with differences in such infiltration. Next, we downloaded the immune-related genes from an immune-related database to screen the expression profile of the immune-related genes. Then, we obtained a candidate gene set by screening the immune-related genes differentially expressed between the two groups. We used WGCNA to construct a weighted co-expression network for these candidate genes, mined co-expression modules, and then calculated the correlation between each module and immune cells with differential infiltration. We screened the modules related to infiltrating immune cells, identified the key modules' hub genes, and determined the key module genes that interacted with each other. Finally, we obtained the hub genes related to the infiltrating immune cells. We classified the preeclampsia patients by unsupervised cluster molecular typing, determined the difference of immune cell infiltration among the different PE subtypes, and calculated the expression of hub genes in these different subtypes. In conclusion, we found 41 hub genes that may be closely related to the molecular typing of PE.
