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

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, often associated with immune dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and altered protein succinylation. This study aimed to identify mitochondrial and succinylation-related gene signatures with diagnostic potential in IS. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with IS were identified using transcriptome expression profiles from merged GSE16561 and GSE58294 GEO datasets. Functional enrichment and WGCNA identified hub genes. Mitochondrial and succinylation-related gene expression was assessed via ssGSEA. Feature genes were selected using machine learning. A prognostic nomogram was constructed. PPI networks were generated using GeneMANIA. Immune infiltration was assessed through ssGSEA. Drug-gene interactions were explored using DGIdb. qRT-PCR validation was performed on blood samples from IS patients and controls. We identified 317 DEGs enriched in immune response and inflammation pathways in 108 IS patients and 47 healthy controls using data from the merged datasets. WGCNA identified 101 hub genes in the yellow module and 65 in the brown module. Seven overlapping genes related to mitochondrial and succinylation processes were identified. Feature gene analysis revealed six key genes (MRPL41, NGRN, SLC25A42, SPTLC2, TUBB, and TXN) with robust diagnostic potential across both the merged and individual datasets (all AUCs > 0.7). Nomogram integration demonstrated predictive reliability. Feature genes exhibited significant correlations with immune cell infiltration. qRT-PCR validation confirmed the differential expression of four feature genes. TUBB and TXN showed interactions with various drugs. Mitochondrial and succinylation-related genes have diagnostic significance in IS, providing insights into disease pathogenesis and clinical applications.
