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: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and there is growing evidence to support the role of immunity in the progression of DN to ESRD. Chemokines and chemokine receptors (CCRs) can recruit immune cells to sites of inflammation or injury. Currently, no studies have reported the effect of CCRs on the immune environment during the progression of DN to ESRD. Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from the GEO database were identified in DN patients versus ESRD patients. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were performed using DEGs. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to identify hub CCRs. Differentially expressed immune cells were screened by immune infiltration analysis, and the correlation between immune cells and hub CCRs was also calculated. Result: In this study, a total of 181 DEGs were identified. Enrichment analysis showed that chemokines, cytokines, and inflammation-related pathways were significantly enriched. Combining the PPI network and CCRs, four hub CCRs (CXCL2, CXCL8, CXCL10, and CCL20) were identified. These hub CCRs showed an upregulation trend in DN patients and a downregulation trend in ESRD patients. Immune infiltration analysis identified a variety of immune cells that underwent significant changes during disease progression. Among them, CD56bright natural killer cell, effector memory CD8 T cell, memory B cell, monocyte, regulatory T cell, and T follicular helper cell were significantly associated with all hub CCR correlation. Conclusion: The effect of CCRs on the immune environment may contribute to the progression of DN to ESRD.
