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: The pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) is thought to involve abnormal regulation of cell death. However, key cell death-related genes (CDGs) that drive disease progression have not been fully characterized. The identification of these CDGs is thought to potentially reveal new therapeutic targets. Methods: Machine learning (ML) and Mendelian randomization (MR) methods were integrated to identify CDGs with causal effects in UC progression. The validation included immune-related analysis, drug response assessment (infliximab/vedolizumab/golimumab), patient stratification based on consensus clustering, and functional validation. Results: Six key CDG genes ( Conclusion: These six genes can be used to assess the severity of UC and predict treatment outcomes.
