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
Background: The aim of this study was to identify key immune-related genes in acute liver failure (ALF) by constructing an ALF mouse model for transcriptome sequencing. Methods: The C57BL/6 mouse with ALF model was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/ D-galactosamine (D-GalN). After successful modelling, the liver tissues of all mice were obtained for transcriptome sequencing. The key immune-related genes in mice with ALF were identified by differential expression analysis, immune infiltration analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), enrichment analysis, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis. Results: An LPS/D-GalN-induced ALF mouse model was successfully constructed, and transcriptome sequencing was performed. Significant differences in the proportions of monocytes, macrophages M0, macrophages M1 and neutrophils were shown by immune infiltration analysis, and 5255 genes highly associated with these four immune cells were identified by WGCNA. These immune genes were found to be significantly enriched in the TNF signalling pathway by enrichment analysis. Finally, PPI analysis was performed on genes enriched in this pathway and three key genes (CXCL1, CXCL10 and IL1B) were screened out and revealed to be significantly upregulated in ALF. Conclusions: Key immune-related genes in ALF were identified in this study, which may provide not only potential therapeutic targets for treating ALF and improving its prognosis, but also a reliable scientific basis for the immunotherapy of the disease.
