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: Autophagy and immunity play important regulatory roles in lung developmental disorders. However, there is currently a lack of bioinformatics analysis on autophagy-related genes (ARGs) and immune infiltration in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). We aim to screen and validate the signature genes of BPD by bioinformatics and in vivo experiment. Methods: GSE8586 was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the R program. Using cell-type identification with CIBERSORT to analyze the inflammatory and immune status of BPD. Subsequently, the hub genes were identified by Lasso and Cytoscape with three machine-learning algorithms (MCC, Degree and MCODE). In addition, hub genes were validated with ROC, single-cell sequence and IHC in hyperoxia rats. Finally, we searched the drug targets of these hub genes, and established a nomogram model for predicting the risk of BPD. Results: There were 73 the differentially expressed and autophagy-related genes (DE-ARGs) by overlapping the DEGs in GSE8586 and ARGs. Five hub genes, BRIX1, JUN, PES1, NR4A1 and RRP9, were lowly expressed in the BPD group and had high diagnostic value in the diagnostic model. All hub genes are mainly located in B cell, epithelial cell, fibroblast, endothelial cell, smooth muscle cell and pneumocyte in lung single-cell sequencing. Moreover, immune infiltration analysis showed immune cells were higher in the BPD group and were closely associated with hub genes. We also predict the drug targets of the genes. Finally, the IHC result in rats showed that expression of PES1, BRX1, RRP9, JUN, NR4A1 was lower in the hyperoxia group compared to the normoxia group. Conclusion: BRIX1, JUN, PES1, NR4A1, RRP9, may be promising therapeutic targets for BPD. Our findings provided researchers and clinicians with more evidence regarding immunotherapeutic strategies for BPD treatment.
