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: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is an ischemic heart disease involving a variety of immune factors. This study was aimed at investigating unique immune and m6A patterns in patients with CHD by gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and at identifying novel immune biomarkers. Methods: The CIBERSORT algorithm and single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) were applied to assess the population of specific infiltrating immunocytes. Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was utilized on immune genes matching CHD. A prediction model based on core immune genes was constructed and verified by a machine learning model. Unsupervised cluster analysis identified various immune patterns in the CHD group according to the abundance of immune cells. Methylation of N6 adenosine- (m6A-) related gene was identified from the literature, and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) analysis was used to determine the rationality of the m6A classification. The association between m6A-related genes and various immune cells was estimated using heat maps. Results: 22/28 immune-associated cells differed between the CHD and normal groups, and a significant difference was detected in the expression of 21 m6A-related genes. The proportion of immune-related cells (activated CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells) in the peripheral blood of the CHD group was lower than that of the normal group. The immune genes were divided into four modules, of which the turquoise modules showed a significant association with coronary heart disease. Eight hub immune genes ( Conclusion: In conclusion, we identified different immune and m6A patterns in CHD. Thus, it could be speculated that the immune system plays a crucial role in CHD, and m6A is correlated with immune genes.
