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: The biological roles of histone lactylation (HLA) modification-related genes (HLMRGs) in spinal cord injury (SCI) remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the expression patterns and molecular mechanisms of HLMRGs in SCI through bioinformatics approaches. Methods: Data from GSE151371, GSE47681, and 10 HLMRGs were analyzed. Subsequently, biomarkers were identified based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, followed by logistic regression modeling and nomogram construction. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to assess the functional roles of these biomarkers. Clustering analysis of samples based on biomarkers revealed distinct groups, and differentially expressed genes between these groups were analyzed. Inter-cluster comparisons were conducted to examine Hallmark pathways, HLA genes, and immune functions. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was applied to identify cluster-related module genes, which were further used for protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction to pinpoint key proteins. Networks linking miRNAs, transcription factors (TFs), and biomarkers, as well as drug-biomarker interactions, were established. The expression of biomarkers was validated through reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results: In GSE151371, eight biomarkers ( Conclusion: In summary, 8 biomarkers playing an important role in SCI were identified, providing a reference for the application of HLMRGs in SCI.
