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: Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are characterized by spontaneous regression, and their pathogenesis involves immune cell infiltration and programmed cell death. The molecular pathways and mechanisms involved in pyroptosis in IHs are still unclear. This study aimed to identify genes related to pyroptosis in IH regression by bioinformatics methods and to explore the effects of these pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) on disease pathology and immune cell infiltration. Methods: The microarray dataset GSE127487 was assessed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between proliferation-phase IH (PIHs) and involution-phase IH (IIHs). The DEGs that overlapped with PRGs were considered IH-PRGs. The IH-PRGs were validated and subjected to functional enrichment analysis and Genomes pathway analyses. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was also performed to analyse the biological significance of the DEGs. The NetworkAnalyst database was used to analyse the correlation network of IH-PRGs and miRNAs as well as that of IH-PRGs and transcription factors. The STRING online database and Cytoscape were used to identify the hub-IH-PRGs. Additionally, a single-sample GSEA algorithm was applied to assess immune cell infiltration in IHs, and correlation analysis was performed between the hub-IH-PRGs and infiltrating immune cells. Results: Fourteen IH-PRGs were identified. IL6, EGFR, IRF1 and IL32 were identified as hub-IH-PRGs and displayed excellent diagnostic performance. Immune cell infiltration analysis revealed notable differences in CD8+ T cells, Tgd cells and Th17 cells between PIHs and IIHs. IL-6 was significantly positively correlated with Th17 cell infiltration and significantly negatively correlated with Tgd cell infiltration; EGFR was negatively correlated with Tgd cell infiltration; and IRF1 and IL32 were significantly negatively correlated with Th17 cell infiltration. Conclusion: Four PRGs, namely, IL6, EGFR, IRF1 and IL32, may play a significant role in IH regression. This study provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying IH pathogenesis, highlighting the importance of pyroptosis and immune cell infiltration.
