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: Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is the most prevalent rectal disorder, with various cellular processes influenced by the mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane (MAM). Potential therapeutic mechanisms for HD may be associated with MAM. This study aims to identify key genes linked to MAM in HD and to provide novel therapeutic targets. Methods: Transcriptome data and MAM-related genes (MAM-RGs) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and relevant literature. Differential expression analysis and single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) scores were initially employed to identify candidate genes. Key genes were further refined using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) networks. A nomogram based on these key genes was developed and assessed. Additionally, CIBERSORT algorithms were utilized to evaluate immune cell infiltration abundance, differences, and correlations in the samples. Finally, the expression of key genes was validated via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Results: Differential expression analysis identified 956 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and ssGSEA identified 143 differentially expressed MAM-RGs. A total of 50 candidate genes were selected through their intersection. Machine learning identified two key genes, Conclusion: This study identifies
