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

Introduction: Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a major reason for liver injury that occurs during surgical procedures such as hepatectomy and liver transplantation and is a major cause of graft dysfunction after transplantation. Programmed cell death (PCD) has been found to correlate with the degree of LIRI injury and plays an important role in the treatment of LIRI. We aim to comprehensively explore the expression patterns and mechanism of action of PCD-related genes in LIRI and to find novel molecular targets for early prevention and treatment of LIRI. Methods: We first compared the expression profiles, immune profiles, and biological function profiles of LIRI and control samples. Then, the potential mechanisms of PCD-related differentially expressed genes in LIRI were explored by functional enrichment analysis. The hub genes for LIRI were further screened by applying multiple machine learning methods and Cytoscape. GSEA, GSVA, immune correlation analysis, transcription factor prediction, ceRNA network analysis, and single-cell analysis further revealed the mechanisms and regulatory network of the hub gene in LIRI. Finally, potential therapeutic agents for LIRI were explored based on the CMap database and molecular docking technology. Results: Forty-seven differentially expressed genes associated with PCD were identified in LIRI, and functional enrichment analysis showed that they were involved in the regulation of the TNF signaling pathway as well as the regulation of hydrolase activity. By utilizing machine learning methods, 11 model genes were identified. ROC curves and confusion matrix from the six cohorts illustrate the superior diagnostic value of our model. MYC was identified as a hub PCD-related target in LIRI by Cytoscape. Finally, BMS-536924 and PF-431396 were identified as potential therapeutic agents for LIRI. Conclusion: This study comprehensively characterizes PCD in LIRI and identifies one core molecule, providing a new strategy for early prevention and treatment of LIRI.
