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: The course of Crohn's disease (CD) is prolonged and many of them may develop kidney stone disease (KSD) with the need for surgical treatment. Therefore, finding biomarkers that can predict CD with KD become increasingly important. Methods: We obtained three CD and one KSD dataset from GEO database. DEGs and module genes were identified utilizing Limma and WGCNA. We constructed a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and employed machine learning algorithms to pinpoint potential hub genes (HGs) for diagnosing CD with KSD. We developed a nomogram and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Additionally, human intestinal cell and proximal tubular epithelial cell models were established to explore the HG levels. Next, we used Cytoscape to build the regulatory networks. Finally, single-cell analysis was performed to investigate specific cell types displaying these biomarkers in CD. Results: We identified 36 common genes associated with CD and KSD. PYY, FOXA2, REG3A, REG1A, REG1B were identified as HGs utilizing the machine learning algorithm. The nomogram and all five potential HGs exhibited strong diagnostic capabilities. Cell experiments also verified that these genes were markedly expressed in cell models of CD and KSD. Meanwhile, we pinpointed four microRNAs and three transcriptional regulators intimately linked to five crucial genes. Finally, single-cell analysis indicated FOXA2, REG3A, REG1A and REG1B exhibited elevated expression in goblet cells, whereas PYY demonstrated high expression levels in coloncytes. Conclusion: We determined five biomarkers, including PYY, FOXA2, REG3A, REG1A, REG1B. Our results offer useful perspectives for identifying CD with KSD.
