Identification of key genes and microRNAs for multiple sclerosis using bioinformatics analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
abstractTo better understand the molecular mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS), we aimed to identify the key genes and microRNAs (miRNA) associated with MS and analyze their interactions. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and miRNAs (DEMs) based on the gene miRNA dataset GSE17846 and mRNA dataset GSE21942 were determined using R software. Next, we performed functional enrichment analysis and constructed a protein-protein interaction network. Data validation was performed to ensure the reliability of hub genes. The miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was constructed. In total, 47 DEMs and 843 DEGs were identified. Protein-protein interaction network analysis identified several hub genes, including JUN, FPR2, AKT1, POLR2L, LYZ, CXCL8, HBB, CST3, CTSZ, and MMP9, especially LYZ and CXCL8. We constructed an miRNA-mRNA regulatory network and found that hsa-miR-142-3p, hsa-miR-107, hsa-miR-140-5p, and hsa-miR-613 were the most important miRNAs. This study reveals some key genes and miRNAs that may be involved in the pathogenesis of MS, providing potential targets for the diagnosis and treatment of MS.
