RNA-Sequencing Analysis Identifies Etiology Specific Transcriptional Signatures in Neonatal Acute Liver Failure.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
objectiveTo assess hepatic transcriptional signatures in infants with gestational alloimmune liver disease (GALD) compared with other etiologies of neonatal acute liver failure (ALF) and older pediatric patients with ALF. STUDY
designNeonates with ALF (international normalized ratio ≥2 within 30 days of life) and deceased neonates without liver disease (<30 days of age) with available liver tissue between 2010 and 2021 were identified at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Clinical information, liver histology, and data from RNA-sequencing analysis was compared between neonates with GALD, non-GALD etiologies of neonatal ALF, and nondiseased neonatal liver.
resultsQuantification of trichrome staining showed an increase in fibrosis in patients with GALD vs those with non-GALD neonatal ALF (P = .012); however, quantification of α-cytokeratin 19-positive ductules did not differ between groups (P = .244). Gene set enrichment analysis of RNA-sequencing data identified the pathways of complement activation, fibrosis, and organogenesis to be upregulated in patients with GALD with ALF. In contrast, patients with non-GALD causes of neonatal ALF had increased gene expression for interferon-driven immune pathways. Individual genes upregulated in GALD included matrix metallopeptidase 7, hepatocyte growth factor, and chemokine ligand 14.
conclusionsWe have identified distinct pathways that are significantly upregulated in patients with GALD and potential disease-specific diagnostic biomarkers. Future studies will aim to validate these findings and help identify GALD-specific diagnostic biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce GALD-associated patient mortality.
