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

Objective: This study was designed to identify potential biomarkers for ulcerative colitis (UC) and analyze the immune infiltration characteristics in UC. Methods: Datasets containing human UC and normal control tissues (GSE87466, GSE107597, and GSE13367) were downloaded from the GEO database. Then, the GSE87466 and GSE107597 datasets were merged, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between UC and normal control tissues were screened out by the "limma R" package. The LASSO regression model and support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) were performed to screen out the best biomarkers. The GSE13367 dataset was used as a validation cohort, and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance. Finally, the immune infiltration characteristics in UC were explored by CIBERSORT, and we further analyzed the correlation between potential biomarkers and different immune cells. Results: A total of 76 DEGs were screened out, among which 56 genes were upregulated and 20 genes were downregulated. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that these DEGs were mainly involved in immune response, chemokine signaling, IL-17 signaling, cytokine receptor interactions, inflammatory bowel disease, etc. ABCG2, HSPB3, SLC6A14, and VNN1 were identified as potential biomarkers for UC and validated in the GSE13367 dataset (AUC = 0.889, 95% CI: 0.797~0.961). Immune infiltration analysis by CIBERSORT revealed that there were significant differences in immune infiltration characteristics between UC and normal control tissues. A high level of memory B cells, Conclusion: ABCG2, HSPB3, SLC6A14, and VNN 1 were identified as potential biomarkers for UC. There was an obvious difference in immune infiltration between UC and normal control tissues, which may provide help to guide individualized treatment and develop new research directions.
