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

backgroundPulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is an incurable disease with a high mortality rate. Current medications ameliorate symptoms but cannot target adverse vascular remodeling. New therapeutic strategies for PAH need to be established.

methodsUsing the weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) algorithm, we constructed a coexpression network of dataset GSE117261 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Key modules were identified by the relationship between module eigengenes and clinical traits. Hub genes were screened out based on gene significance (GS), module membership (MM), and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP). External validations were conducted in GSE48149 and GSE113439. Functional enrichment and immune cell infiltration were analyzed using Metascape and CIBERSORTx.

resultsThe WGCNA analysis revealed 13 coexpression modules. The pink module had the highest correlation with PAH in terms of module eigengene (r=0.79; P=2e-18) and module significance (MS =0.43). Functional enrichment indicated genes in the pink module contributed to the immune system process and extracellular matrix (ECM). In the pink module,

conclusionsOur research identified 2 hub genes
