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

backgroundIdiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is characterized by medial hypertrophy due to pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) hyperplasia. In the present study, we conducted bioinformatic analyses and cellular experiments to assess the involvement of the interleukin-13 (IL-13) in IPAH.

methodsThe differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in IPAH and DEGs in IPAH caused by IL-13 treatment were screened using the GEO database. PPI networks were used to analyze the hub genes. Hypoxia-induced PASMCs were treated with IL-13 for

resultsIL-13 altered gene expression in IPAH. IL-13 inhibited the proliferation and the expression of hub genes in PASMCs. The 3'UTR sites between HNRNPA2B1, HNRNPH1, SRSF1, HNRNPU and HNRNPA3 in the hub genes and candidate regulatory miRNAs were well conserved in humans. IL-13-mediated hub genes regulated multiple pathways and influenced immune cell infiltration. Hypoxia-induced PASMCs promoted the M2 polarization of macrophages, whereas IL-13-treated PASMCs skewed the macrophages toward M1 polarization.

conclusionsIL-13-mediated alterations in hub genes inhibit PASMC proliferation and promote M1 macrophage infiltration in IPAH.
