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: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a common consequence of hypertension and can lead to heart failure. The immune response plays an important role in hypertensive LVH; however, there is no comprehensive method to investigate the mechanistic relationships between immune response and hypertensive LVH or to find novel therapeutic targets. This study aimed to screen hub immune-related genes involved in hypertensive LVH as well as to explore immune target-based therapeutic drugs. Materials and methods: RNA-sequencing data from a mouse model generated by angiotensin II infusion were subjected to weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to identify core expression modules. Machine learning algorithms were applied to screen immune-related LVH characteristic genes. Heart structures were evaluated by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI). Validation of hub genes was conducted by RT-qPCR and western blot. Using the Connectivity Map database and molecular docking, potential small-molecule drugs were explored. Results: A total of 1215 differentially expressed genes were obtained, most of which were significantly enriched in immunoregulation and collagen synthesis. WGCNA and multiple machine learning strategies uncovered six hub immune-related genes ( Conclusion: This study identified and validated six hub immune-related genes that may play essential roles in hypertensive LVH, providing new insights into the potential pathogenesis of cardiac remodeling and novel targets for medical interventions.
