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

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common complication of diabetes. Due to its complex pathogenesis, there is no effective treatment. M6A is a newly discovered epigenetic mechanism that may be involved in the development of diabetic nephropathy. In this study, we analyzed differentially expressed genes (DEG) in the GEO database (GSE96804) and paid attention to genes with m6A methylation. 623 DEGs in glomerular tissue were identified by comparing diabetic nephropathy with normal. Correlation analysis with 21 genes involved in m6A modification showed that 492 genes were associated with m6A methylation. According to the CIBERSORT algorithm, the infiltration of M1 macrophages in DN patients was significantly higher than that in normal samples. Weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to screen for the modules most correlated with the clinical features of M1 macrophages. The genes in the selected modules and 492 m6A-related DEGs were intersected by a Venn diagram, and 43 key genes were obtained. GO and KEGG analyses showed that these genes were mainly related to the positive regulation of protein aggregation and the transforming growth factor β receptor signaling pathway. According to a literature review, among the top 10 genes, HSPA1A, HSPA1B, CHI3L1, TYRO3 and PTH1R are markers in diabetic nephropathy, and their abnormal expression is associated with renal hypertrophy, proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis. These findings may provide evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic nephropathy.
