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: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia. Previous studies mainly focused on identifying potential diagnostic biomarkers and treatment strategies for AF, while few studies concentrated on post-operative AF (POAF), particularly using bioinformatics analysis and machine learning algorithms. Therefore, our study aimed to identify immune-associated genes and provide the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network for POAF. Methods: Three GSE datasets were downloaded from the GEO database, and we used a variety of bioinformatics strategies and machine learning algorithms to discover candidate hub genes. These techniques included identifying differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and circRNAs (DECs), building protein-protein interaction networks, selecting common genes, and filtering candidate hub genes via three machine learning algorithms. To assess the diagnostic value, we then created the nomogram and receiver operating curve (ROC). MiRNAs targeting DEGs and DECs were predicted using five tools and the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network was built. Moreover, we performed the immune cell infiltration analysis to better elucidate the regulation of immune cells in POAF. Results: We identified 234 DEGs (82 up-regulated and 152 down-regulated) of POAF Conclusion: We identified four immune-associated candidate hub genes (
