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

Introduction: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common glomerular disease worldwide, with a poor prognosis. The aim of our study was to identify key biomarkers and their associations with immune cells to aid in the study of IgAN pathology and immunotherapy. Material and methods: The data of IgAN were downloaded from a public database. The metaMA package and limma package were used to identify differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs), respectively. Biological functions of the DEmRNAs were analyzed. Machine learning was used to screen the mRNA biomarkers of IgAN. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between mRNA biomarkers, immune cells and signaling pathways. Moreover, we constructed a miRNAs-mRNAs targeted regulatory network. Finally, we performed in vitro validation of the identified miRNAs and mRNAs. Results: 1205 DEmRNAs and 125 DEmiRNAs were identified. In gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) signaling via nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), apoptosis and MTORC-1 signaling were inhibited in IgAN. 8 mRNA biomarkers were screened by machine learning. In addition, the distribution of 8 immune cell types was found to be significantly different between normal controls and IgAN by difference analysis. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis demonstrated that AKAP8L was significantly negatively correlated with CD4 Conclusions: The identification of 8 important biomarkers and their correlation with immune cells and biological signaling pathways provides new ideas for further study of IgAN.
