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

This study focused on the intricate connections between hypertension nephropathy (HN) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in terms of molecular and pathological mechanisms. The samples were from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. GSE37460 and GSE142153 are training sets, and GSE37455 and GSE30529 are validation sets. We found 42 shared differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by means of the differential analysis. The GO/KEGG and GSEA analysis mainly highlights the signal transduction pathways related to the proteasome and cytokines. The eight hub genes identified through the Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network analysis include NR4A1, TNFSF10, CX3CR1, EGF, THBD, CXCR4, CCL5, and ATF3. Single-cell sequencing analysis revealed that TNFSF10 and NR4A1 were the most highly expressed in the cells of both HN and DN. Furthermore, five significant microRNAs identified include hsa-miR-1248, hsa-miR-200b-5p, hsa-miR-23b-5p, hsa-miR-3059-5p, and hsa-miR-3065-3p. Six essential transcription factors (TFs) (NFIL3, STAT3, NFKB1, USF1, USF2, and EGR1), 11 important drug chemicals (Cisplatin, Cyclosporine, perfluorooctanoic acid, Quercetin, Tretinoin, bisphenol A, Curcumin, Valproic Acid, Particulate Matter, Simvastatin, and Cadmium), seven related diseases (Atherosclerosis, Glioblastoma, Pulmonary Fibrosis, Asthma, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and Diabetes Mellitus), and ten important RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) (CHTOP, EIF4E, HNRNPK, IGF2BP3, YTHDF3, HNRNPA2B1, RBM47, YBX1, RBFOX2, and RBM10). Finally, molecular docking simulations suggest that Tretinoin and Curcumin may have potential therapeutic value for both HN and DN. This study provides novel therapeutic targets for the combined diagnosis and treatment of HN and DN.
