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

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and COVID-19 share molecular pathways yet remain poorly understood in their interrelation. Using RNA-seq datasets (GSE130391 and GSE169687), we identified 645, 206, and 1,543 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for long-COVID (16 and 24 weeks post-infection) and CTEPH, respectively. Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) pinpointed 234 intersecting key module genes. Three hub genes-DNAJA1, NDUFA5, and SLC2A14-were identified with robust discriminatory capabilities (AUC ≥ 0.7). Enrichment analyses revealed shared pathways linked to immune modulation, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysfunction. Immune analysis highlighted activated CD8 T cells as critical regulators. Regulatory networks implicated TFs and miRNAs, including STAT1 and hsa-mir-23a-3p. Drug prediction identified potential therapeutic compounds with strong molecular docking interactions. These findings unravel critical molecular linkages, emphasizing shared pathogeneses and guiding experimental validations for improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in COVID-19 and CTEPH.
