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

backgroundDilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cause of heart failure. Cardiac remodeling is the main pathological change in DCM, yet the molecular mechanism is still unclear. Therefore, the present study aims to find potential crucial genes and regulators through bulk and single-cell transcriptomic analysis.

methodsThree microarray datasets of DCM (GSE57338, GSE42955, GSE79962) were chosen from gene expression omnibus (GEO) to analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). LASSO regression, SVM-RFE, and PPI network methods were then carried out to identify key genes. Another dataset (GSE116250) was used to validate these findings. To further identify DCM-associated specific cell types, transcription factors, and cell-cell interaction networks, GSEA, SCENIC, and CellPhoneDB were conducted on public datasets for single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of DCM (GSE109816 and GSE121893). Finally, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), western blot, and immunohistochemical were performed to validate DPT expression in fibroblasts and DCM.

resultsThere were 281 DEGs between DCM and non-failing donors. CCL5 and DPT were identified to be key genes and both genes had a 0.844 area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) in the validation dataset. Further single-cell sequencing analysis revealed three main findings: (I) DPT was mainly expressed in fibroblasts and was significantly upregulated in DCM fibroblasts; (II) DPT

conclusionsDPT could be used as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target of DCM. DPT
