Identification of ferroptosis-related genes and predicted overall survival in patients with burns.

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
Introduction: Burns are a common trauma associated with considerable mortality and morbidity. Although a lot is known regarding burns' pathogenesis, the involvement of ferroptosis is uncertain. Here, we aimed to explore vital ferroptosis-related genes and molecules in burns, through bioinformatics analysis, to uncover new effective therapeutic targets. Methods: The FerrDb database was used to acquire ferroptosis-related genes and GSE19743 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), a dataset with analysis of control and burned individuals. Hub genes were selected with Cytoscape software, and Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were conducted. Cox proportional hazard function and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were implemented to screen prognosis-related genes. Additionally, the miRWalk database was used to acquire the miRNAs relevant to our hub genes function and analyzed for enrichment. Result: We identified 64 differentially expressed genes and through the intersection with ferroptosis-related genes, 10 were selected as hub genes. GO analysis revealed that the hub genes' most enriched activities were response to oxidative stress, pyridine-containing compound metabolic processes, and reactive oxygen species metabolic processes. KEGG pathways' analysis showed that these overlapped genes were enriched in several pathways, namely, in VEGF signaling. Furthermore, the molecular miRNA functions significantly enriched were signal transduction and cell communication, namely, the biological pathways of the glypican pathway and the ErbB receptor signaling network. SLC40A1 and GPT2 genes were found to be associated with overall survival, suggesting an important role in burn prognosis. Discussion: This study may improve our understanding of the underlying burn mechanisms and provide a new direction for the prevention of poor outcomes, advances in burns treatment, and drug development.
