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

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a critical neurological disorder that frequently leads to permanent disability, profoundly affecting the quality of life of individuals with SCI. In this research, we examined the varied expression of genes associated with metabolic reprogramming-related genes in SCI. By employing the Gene Expression Omnibus datasets GSE5296 and GSE47681, 1001 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified through the limma R package. Among these, 871 and 130 genes were upregulated and downregulated, respectively. A subset of 10 metabolic reprogramming-related differentially expressed genes (MRRDEGs) was recognized as key players in metabolic reprogramming. Analyses of enrichment performed using Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes indicated that the identified MRRDEGs predominantly participated in processes related to pyruvate metabolism and carbohydrate degradation. Nine hub genes were discerned using a protein-protein interaction network. Subsequently, an SCI mouse model was established using the LISA SCI modeling device, and preliminary validation was conducted through quantitative real-time PCR experiments at various time points after SCI, specifically on days 1, 3, and 7, suggesting their central role in SCI. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that these MRRDEGs could be used to diagnose SCI. The CIBERSORT algorithm analysis of immune infiltration identified an inverse relationship between M0 and M2 macrophages. Furthermore, a positive relationship was observed between Ucp2 and M0 macrophages, underscoring their essential function in the immune response following SCI. These results highlight MRRDEGs' importance in SCI and propose their potential roles as targets for therapeutic interventions.
