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 and Objectives: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is distinguished by dysregulated immune system activity, resulting in a spectrum of clinical manifestations, with lupus nephritis being particularly prominent. This study endeavors to discern novel targets as potential therapeutic markers for this condition. Methods: Weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) was used to construct the network and select the key hub genes in the co-expression module based on the gene expression dataset GSE81622. Subsequently, functional enrichment and pathway analysis were performed for SLE and lupus nephritis. In addition, also identify genes and differences in SLE with lupus nephritis and methylation site. Finally, qRT-PCR and western blot were used to verify the up-regulated expression levels of the selected key genes. Results: Within the co-expression modules constructed by WGCNA, the MElightcyan module exhibited the strongest positive correlation with lupus nephritis (0.4, Conclusions: We have identified several genes, notably CEACAM1 and SLC2A5, as potential markers for lupus nephritis. Their elevated expression levels and reduced DNA methylation in lupus nephritis contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the aberrant epigenetic regulation of expression in this condition. These findings hold significant implications for the diagnosis and therapeutic strategies of lupus nephritis.
