Identification of Hub Genes and Biological Pathways in Inclusion Body Myositis Using Bioinformatics Analysis.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundInclusion body myositis (IBM) is a unique idiopathic inflammatory myopathy with unclear pathogenesis and poor prognosis. Although previous publications have identified some molecular biomarkers, the value of these biomarkers is unknown.
objectiveTo identify hub genes and signaling pathways related to IBM for understanding the IBM-related mechanisms and providing guidance for therapy development.
methodsTwo microarray datasets (GSE3112 and GSE128470) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. GEO2R was used to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between IBM and normal muscle tissues. The hub genes were determined using protein-protein interaction (PPI) network in Cytoscape. The specific signaling pathways and biological functions of IBM were identified using GO, KEGG, and GSEA enrichment analyses. Moreover, CIBERSORT was applied to estimate the expression level of 22 immune cell types in IBM and normal muscle tissue. The relationship between the immune cell types and hub genes was then explored.
resultsA total of 219 DEGs and 10 hub genes were identified. Enrichment analyses revealed that the chemokine signaling pathway, cellular response to interferon-gamma, and P53 pathway have crucial roles in IBM. Immune infiltration analyses showed that IBM was associated with high level of CD8 T cells, Tregs, and macrophages. Finally, five potential drugs were predicted for IBM patients through CMap (connectivity map) database.
conclusionIn this study, the underlying molecular mechanisms and immunological landscape of IBM were investigated, and thus may provide new directions for future research on IBM pathogenesis.
