Identification of a 13-Gene Immune Signature in Liver Fibrosis Reveals GABRE as a Novel Candidate Biomarker.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Liver fibrosis (LF) poses significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to identify effective biomarkers for diagnosis and therapy, as well as to gain deeper insights into the immunological features associated with LF. LF-related datasets were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Two datasets were merged to generate a metadata cohort for bioinformatics analysis and machine learning, while another dataset was reserved for external validation. Seventy-eight machine learning algorithms were employed to screen signature genes. The diagnostic performance of these genes was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and their expression levels were validated via qRT-PCR experiments. The R language was utilized to delineate the immune landscape. Finally, correlation analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between the signature genes and immune infiltration. Through the intersection of GEO datasets and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), 42 genes were identified. Machine learning methods further narrowed down 13 signature genes (alpha-2-macroglobulin (
