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: A worldwide outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in millions of deaths. Ferroptosis is a form of iron-dependent cell death which is characterized by accumulation of lipid peroxides on cellular membranes, and is related with many physiological and pathophysiological processes of diseases such as cancer, inflammation and infection. However, the role of ferroptosis in COVID-19 has few been studied. Material and Method: Based on the RNA-seq data of 100 COVID-19 cases and 26 Non-COVID-19 cases from GSE157103, we identified ferroptosis related differentially expressed genes (FRDEGs, adj. Results: A total of 119 FRDEGs were identified and the GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed the most important biologic processes are oxidative stress response, MAPK and PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. The top 30 hub genes were selected, and finally, 7 core FRDEGs (JUN, MAPK8, VEGFA, CAV1, XBP1, HMOX1, and HSPB1) were found to be associated with the occurrence of COVID-19. Next, the two patterns of COVID-19 patients had constructed and the cluster A patients were likely to be more severe. Conclusion: Our study suggested that ferroptosis was involved in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 disease and the functions of core FRDEGs may become a new research aspect of this disease.
