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: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a challenging chronic intestinal inflammation. Anoikis, a type of programmed cell death triggered by detachment from the extracellular matrix, is crucial in various physiological and pathological contexts. This study aims to explore the biological and clinical implications of anoikis-related genes (ARGs) in UC. Methods: Gene expression microarrays from normal and UC mucosal tissues focused on ARGs. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to anoikis in UC were identified. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) screened UC-related module genes. GO, KEGG, GSEA, and GSVA analyses were used to uncover mechanisms. Machine learning identified hub ARG-DEGs highly correlated with UC, and diagnostic nomograms assessed their diagnostic potential. The CIBERSORT algorithm analyzed changes in the UC immune microenvironment related to hub UC-ARGs. Potential drugs, miRNAs, and transcription factors (TFs) interacting with these hub UC-ARGs were investigated, and animal experiments verified their expression. Results: 49 ARG-DEGs were identified, mainly linked to the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, inflammatory signal regulation, and extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interactions. Notably, CDH3 and SERPINA1 showed significant diagnostic potential for UC, confirmed by the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, independent validation sets, Western blot, and immunohistochemical staining. Significant variations in immune cell infiltration and activation within UC samples correlated with hub UC-ARGs were observed using the CIBERSORT algorithm. Conclusion: Anoikis may drive UC progression by initiating an immune inflammatory response. CDH3 and SERPINA1 are promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for UC.
