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

backgroundThe molecular association between end-stage renal disease (ESRD), arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate their potential relationship.

methodsThree datasets were downloaded from the public database. AVF-failure-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs), CVD-related DEGs, and ESRD-related DEGs were identified by differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis. Then, AVF-failure-related, CVD-related, and ESRD-related DEGs were overlapped to obtain the hub genes. The diagnostic values of hub genes were evaluated. Finally, the immune infiltration analysis and drug prediction were performed.

resultsA total of four hub genes (ABCC8, ALPI, FGF11, and OBP2A) were identified, and those genes have excellent diagnostic accuracy. Among them, ABCC8, ALPI, and FGF11 showed good sensitivity and specificity. However, compared to the nondiabetic subgroup, the diagnostic ability of these genes was weaker in the diabetic subgroup for distinguishing AVF failure in ESRD patients. Type 17 T helper cells and gamma delta T cells may be associated with CVD caused by ESRD and AVF. A total of 15 drugs associated with hub genes were predicted.

conclusionABCC8, ALPI, and FGF11 could serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers for AVF failure and CVD in HD-treated ESRD patients. Their robustness needs to be validated in larger cohorts and additional subgroups with comorbidities.
