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

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a debilitating condition with limited therapeutic options. Exploring hypoxia-related genes in SCI may reveal potential therapeutic targets and improve our understanding of its pathogenesis. Methods: We developed a diagnostic model using LASSO regression and Random Forest algorithms to investigate hypoxia-related genes in SCI. The model identified critical biomarkers by analyzing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and hypoxia-related DEGs (HRDEGs). Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), and Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) were conducted to explore the biological roles of HRDEGs. The model's accuracy was validated using receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration plots, decision curves, and qPCR experiments. Results: The diagnostic model identified Casp6, Pkm, Cxcr4, and Hexa as critical biomarkers among 186 HRDEGs out of 9,732 altered genes in SCI. These biomarkers were significantly associated with SCI pathogenesis. GO and KEGG analyses highlighted their roles in hypoxia responses, particularly through the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 pathway. The model demonstrated high accuracy, with an area under the curve exceeding 0.9. GSEA and GSVA revealed distinct pathways in low- and high-risk SCI groups, suggesting potential clinical stratification strategies. Discussion: This study constructed a diagnostic model that confirmed
