Exploring the molecular mechanisms of ferroptosis-related genes in periodontitis: a multi-dataset analysis.
Article in BMC oral health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeThis study aims to elucidate the biological functions of ferroptosis-related genes in periodontitis, along with their correlation to tumor microenvironment (TME) features such as immune infiltration. It aims to provide potential diagnostic markers of ferroptosis for clinical management of periodontitis.
methodsUtilizing the periodontitis-related microarray dataset GSE16134 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and a set of 528 ferroptosis-related genes identified in prior studies, this research unveils differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes in periodontitis. Subsequently, a protein-protein interaction network was constructed. Subtyping of periodontitis was explored, followed by validation through immune cell infiltration and gene set enrichment analyses. Two algorithms, randomForest and SVM(Support Vector Machine), were employed to reveal potential ferroptosis diagnostic markers for periodontitis. The diagnostic efficacy, immune correlation, and potential transcriptional regulatory networks of these markers were further assessed. Finally, potential targeted drugs for differentially expressed ferroptosis markers in periodontitis were predicted.
resultsA total of 36 ferroptosis-related genes (30 upregulated, 6 downregulated) were identified from 829 differentially expressed genes between 9 periodontitis samples and the control group. Subsequent machine learning algorithm screening highlighted 4 key genes: SLC1A5(Solute Carrier Family 1 Member 5), SLC2A14(Solute Carrier Family 1 Member 14), LURAP1L(Leucine Rich Adaptor Protein 1 Like), and HERPUD1(Homocysteine Inducible ER Protein With Ubiquitin Like Domain 1). Exploration of these 4 key genes, supported by time-correlated ROC analysis, demonstrated reliability, while immune infiltration results indicated a strong correlation between key genes and immune factors. Furthermore, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was conducted for the four key genes, revealing enrichment in GO/KEGG pathways that have a significant impact on periodontitis. Finally, the study predicted potential transcriptional regulatory networks and targeted drugs associated with these key genes in periodontitis.
conclusionsThe ferroptosis-related genes identified in this study, including SLC1A5, SLC2A14, LURAP1L, and HERPUD1, may serve as novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets for periodontitis. They are likely involved in the occurrence and development of periodontitis through mechanisms such as immune infiltration, cellular metabolism, and inflammatory chemotaxis, potentially linking the ferroptosis pathway to the progression of periodontitis. Targeted drugs such as flurofamide, L-733060, memantine, tetrabenazine, and WAY-213613 hold promise for potential therapeutic interventions in periodontitis associated with these ferroptosis-related genes.
