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: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) are common diseases that seriously affect the quality of life and bring a huge economic burden to society. Although mounting evidence supports a close link between the two disorders, the mechanisms of comorbidity remain to be fully elucidated. Methods: The gene expression profiles of DFU (GSE80178) and PAD (GSE100927) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) performed pathway enrichment analysis for common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) present in DFU and PAD. Subsequently, we constructed a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network using the STRING database and detected core modules and hub genes in the network. Finally, we analyzed the co-expression network and the TF-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network of hub genes. Results: A total of 167 common DEGs (91 up-regulated genes and 76 down-regulated genes) was selected for subsequent analyses. Functional analysis emphasizes the important role of chemokines and cytokines in these two diseases. Finally, six hub genes were identified using cytoHubba, including CXCL8, IL1RN, MMP1, CD68, CCR7 and CCL3. Conclusions: The hub genes and signaling pathways involved can regulate both diseases simultaneously, suggesting a close relationship between the molecular mechanisms of the two diseases and possible targets for drugs that intervene in both diseases.
