Identification and validation of risk score model based on gene set activity as a diagnostic biomarker for endometriosis.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: The enigmatic nature of Endometriosis (EMS) pathogenesis necessitates investigating alterations in signaling pathway activity to enhance our comprehension of the disease's characteristics. Methods: Three published gene expression profiles (GSE11691, GSE25628, and GSE7305 datasets) were downloaded, and the "combat" algorithm was employed for batch correction, gene expression difference analysis, and pathway enrichment difference analysis. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to identify core genes, and the relative enrichment degree of gene sets was evaluated. The Lasso regression model identified candidate gene sets with diagnostic value, and a risk scoring diagnostic model was constructed for further validation on the GSE86534 and GSE5108 datasets. CIBERSORT was used to assess the composition of immune cells in EMS, and the correlation between EMS diagnostic value gene sets and immune cells was evaluated. Results: A total of 568 differentially expressed genes were identified between eutopic and ectopic endometrium, with 10 core genes in the PPI network associated with cell cycle regulation. Inflammation-related pathways, including cytokine-receptor signaling and chemokine signaling pathways, were significantly more active in ectopic endometrium compared to eutopic endometrium. Diagnostic gene sets for EMS, such as homologous recombination, base excision repair, DNA replication, P53 signaling pathway, adherens junction, and SNARE interactions in vesicular transport, were identified. The risk score's area under the curve (AUC) was 0.854, as indicated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the risk score's diagnostic value was validated by the validation cohort. Immune cell infiltration analysis revealed correlations between the risk score and Macrophages M2, Plasma cells, resting NK cells, activated NK cells, and regulatory T cells. Conclusion: The risk scoring diagnostic model, based on pathway activity, demonstrates high diagnostic value and offers novel insights and strategies for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of Endometriosis.
