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

Research indicates that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure is associated with the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most prevalent chronic liver disorder. However, the underlying pathogenesis mechanisms remain to be fully understood. Our study investigated the hub long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) associated with hepatic steatosis caused by PM2.5 exposure and their pathological mechanisms. The analysis of gene profiles in the GSE186900 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) enabled the identification of 38 differentially expressed lncRNAs and 1945 mRNAs. To explore further, a co-expression network was established utilizing weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Moreover, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases were utilized for functional enrichment analysis. Our analysis identified specific modules, particularly the blue and turquoise modules, which showed a strong correlation with NAFLD. Through functional enrichment analysis, we identified several lncRNAs (including
