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

backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent and life-threatening condition characterized by abrupt renal function decline and subsequent inflammatory cascades. PANoptosis has emerged as a significant contributor to the pathophysiology of AKI. This research aimed to explore the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of PANoptosis-related genes in AKI.

methodsKidney biopsy transcriptomic expression data were obtained from the GEO database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with PANoptosis were identified between AKI and controls. WGCNA identified hub PANoptosis-related genes. PANoptosis scores and immune cell infiltration were calculated by ssGSEA. Machine learning algorithms was used to select feature genes. ROC analysis evaluated their diagnostic performance. Drug-gene interactions were explored.

resultsWe identified 3460 DEGs between AKI and controls (61 upregulated and 11 downregulated) related to PANoptosis, mainly enriched in cytokine signaling and apoptosis. Eight hub PANoptosis genes were identified. PANoptosis scores were significantly higher in AKI patients (

conclusionsOur study identifies PANoptosis-related genes as potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets in AKI, highlighting their role in immune dysregulation in AKI.
