Identification of hub genes for psoriasis and thyroid cancer using bioinformatics analysis.

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.
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
backgroundPsoriasis has been associated with an increased risk of various cancers, including thyroid cancer (TC), yet the molecular mechanisms linking these two diseases remain unclear.
objectiveThis study aimed to identify and analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between TC and psoriasis using bioinformatics approaches to explore potential molecular mechanisms and shared pathways. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first bioinformatics-based study to systematically identify and validate shared hub genes between thyroid cancer and psoriasis.
methodsA TC dataset from the TCGA database and five GEO datasets (GSE35570, GSE13355, GSE14905, GSE53431, and GSE29265) were analyzed, with GSE53431 and GSE29265 serving as validation sets. Differential expression was identified using Xiantao and GEO2R, followed by a series of bioinformatics analyses, including Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction, transcription factor (TF)-gene interaction, TF-miRNA coregulatory network analysis, and drug molecule prediction.
resultsA total of 79 DEGs associated with TC were identified. Key Enrichr KEGG pathways included a response to the bacterium, NABA MATRISOME ASSOCIATED, negative regulation of cell population proliferation, response to wounding, and HALLMARK KRAS SIGNALING UP. Six hub genes (SERPINA1, S100A9, CCL20, SLPI, LCN2, and CXCL8) were identified from the PPI network, with three genes (SERPINA1, CCL20, and LCN2) showing high diagnostic value for both TC and psoriasis. TF gene and miRNA interactions involving these hub genes and potential drug molecules were also identified.
conclusionThis study provides insight into potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets relevant to TC and psoriasis, identifying shared molecular pathways and hub genes that may guide future diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for these diseases.
