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: IgAV, the most common systemic vasculitis in childhood, is an immunoglobulin A-associated immune complex-mediated disease and its underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. This study attempted to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and find dysregulated immune cell types in IgAV to find the underlying pathogenesis for IgAVN. Methods: GSE102114 datasets were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify DEGs. Then, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the DEGs was constructed using the STRING database. And key hub genes were identified by cytoHubba plug-in, performed functional enrichment analyses and followed by verification using PCR based on patient samples. Finally, the abundance of 24 immune cells were detected by Immune Cell Abundance Identifier (ImmuCellAI) to estimate the proportions and dysregulation of immune cell types within IgAVN. Result: A total of 4200 DEGs were screened in IgAVN patients compared to Health Donor, including 2004 upregulated and 2196 downregulated genes. Of the top 10 hub genes from PPI network, Conclusion: We screened out the key genes, pathways and maladjusted immune cells and associated with the pathogenesis of IgAVN. The unique characteristics of IgAV-infiltrating immune cell subsets were confirmed, providing new insights for future molecular targeted therapy and a direction for immunological research on IgAVN.
