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: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a severe threat to humans worldwide. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) can be used to screen gene expression patterns of each cell in the intestine, provide new insights into the potential mechanism of UC, and analyze the development of immune cell changes. These findings can provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of intestinal diseases. In this study, bioinformatics analysis combined with experiments applied in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice was used to explore new diagnostic genes for UC and their potential relationship with immune cells. Methods: We downloaded microarray datasets (GSE75214, GSE87473, GSE92415) from the Gene Expression Omnibus and used these datasets to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and conduct Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) after quality control. The hub genes were screened, and ROC curves were drawn to verify the reliability of the results in both training set (GSE75214, GSE87473, GSE92415) and validation cohort (GSE87466). Also, we explored the relation of diagnostic genes and immune cells by CIBERSORT algorithm and single-cell analysis. Finally, the expression of hub genes and their relation with immune cells were verified in DSS-induced colitis mice. Results: Diagnostic genes (ANXA5, MMP7, NR1H4, CYP3A4, ABCG2) were identified. In addition, we found these five genes firmly related to immune infiltration. The DSS-induced colitis mice confirm that the expression of ANXA5 mainly increased in the intestinal macrophages and had a strong negative correlation with M2 macrophages, which indicated its possible influence on the polarization of macrophages in UC patients. Conclusion: We identified ANXA5, MMP7, NR1H4, CYP3A4, and ABCG2 as diagnostic genes of UC that are closely related to immune infiltration and ANXA5 maintains a negative correlation with M2 macrophages which indicated its possible influence on the polarization of macrophage in UC patients.
