Unveiling diabetic nephropathy: a novel diagnostic model through single-cell sequencing and co-expression analysis.
Article in Aging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is a severe complication of diabetes that affects the kidneys. Disulfidptosis, a newly defined type of programmed cell death, has emerged as a potential area of interest, yet its significance in DN remains unexplored.
methodsThis study utilized single-cell sequencing data GSE131882 from GEO database combined with bulk transcriptome sequencing data GSE30122, GSE30528 and GSE30529 to investigate disulfidptosis in DN. Single-cell sequencing analysis was performed on samples from DN patients and healthy controls, focusing on cell heterogeneity and communication. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were employed to identify disulfidptosis-related gene sets and pathways. A diagnostic model was constructed using machine learning techniques based on identified genes, and immunocorrelation analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between key genes and immune cells. PCR validation was performed on blood samples from DN patients and healthy controls.
resultsThe study revealed significant disulfidptosis heterogeneity and cell communication differences in DN. Specific targets related to disulfidptosis were identified, providing insights into the pathogenesis of DN. The diagnostic model demonstrated high accuracy in distinguishing DN from healthy samples across multiple datasets. Immunocorrelation analysis highlighted the complex interactions between immune cells and key disulfidptosis-related genes. PCR validation supported the differential expression of model genes VEGFA, MAGI2, THSD7A and ANKRD28 in DN.
conclusionThis research advances our understanding of DN by highlighting the role of disulfidptosis and identifying potential biomarkers for early detection and personalized treatment.
