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

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) released by neutrophils can exacerbate inflammation, leading to rupture of intracranial aneurysms (IA). This study aims to explore potential NETs-related genes in IA. RNA sequencing data for IA were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. NETs-related genes were screened using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and differentially expressed gene (DEG) analyses. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed. LASSO Cox regression analysis identified optimal genes for model construction. Immune cell infiltration in IA was studied using CIBERSORT. Five NETs-related hub genes were identified in IA, involved in pathways like neutrophil chemotaxis, Toll-like receptor signaling, and regulation of inflammatory response. A risk score model was developed based on TLR7, TLR2, IL1B, ENTPD4, and FPR1. Immune cell infiltration analysis showed significant variations between low-risk-IA and high-risk-IA groups. Monocytes and neutrophils infiltration proportions were significantly positively correlated with the risk score. The ROC analysis showed AUC values exceeding 0.85 for both training and validation sets, confirming the model's excellent performance. A novel NETs-related diagnostic signature for IA was created, offering new insights into the pathogenesis and diagnosis of IA.
