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

Background: Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is the common final pathway that mediates almost all progressive renal diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms of RIF have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, the current study aimed to explore the etiology of RIF and identify the key targets and immune infiltration patterns of RIF. Methods: Ribonucleic acid (RNA)-seq data of RIF and normal samples were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to screen relevant modules associated with RIF. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the RIF and normal samples were identified using the limma package. Machine learning methods were used to identify hub gene signatures related to RIF. Further biochemical approaches including quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry experiments were performed to verify the hub signatures in the RIF samples. Single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) was used to analyze the proportions of 28 immune cells in RIF and normal samples. Results: WGCNA showed 121 RIF-related genes. A total of 523 DEGs were found between the RIF and normal samples. By overlapping these genes, we obtained 78 RIF-related genes, which were mainly enriched in Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways associated with immunity and inflammation. Integrative analysis of machine learning methods showed prominin 1 ( Conclusions: This study is the first to find that
