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 and objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) are common cardiovascular diseases associated with significant morbidity and mortality in patients with both conditions. The objective of this research is to enhance our understanding of the shared pathogenesis underlying the two diseases and to identify novel therapeutic targets. Materials and methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in heart failure and atrial fibrillation were obtained through the analysis and comparison of transcriptional expression profiles from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. By integrating these datasets with the known ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) from GeneCards and PubMed, we identified ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (FRDEGs). Functional enrichment and the construction of the PPI network for key genes were conducted. The mRNA-miRNA and mRNA-TF Regulatory Network were constructed via the ChIPBase and TarBase databases. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was utilized to screen out the FRDEGs and validate their diagnostic values. Gene expression levels were detected by qPCR in patient serum samples. Results: By analyzing the transcriptional expression profiles of the GEO datasets, Conclusion: Our findings provide a theoretical basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of AF and HF. These results provide valuable insights into potential biomarkers for diagnosis and targets for therapeutic intervention in AF and HF.
