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: Lactylation is increasingly recognized to play a crucial role in human health and diseases. However, its involvement in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) remains largely unclear. Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify and characterize the pivotal lactylation-related genes and explore their underlying mechanism in AMD. Methods: Gene expression profiles of AMD patients and control individuals were obtained and integrated from the GSE29801 and GSE50195 datasets. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened and intersected with lactylation-related genes for lactylation-related DEGs. Machine learning algorithms were used to identify hub genes associated with AMD. Subsequently, the selected hub genes were subject to correlation analysis, and reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of hub genes in AMD patients and healthy control individuals. Results: A total of 68 lactylation-related DEGs in AMD were identified, and seven genes, including Conclusion: We identified seven lactylation-related key genes potentially associated with the progression of AMD, which might deepen our understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved in AMD and provide clues for the targeted therapy.
