Role of glycolysis related genes in the pathogenesis of hemorrhoids and immune cell infiltration analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Hemorrhoids are a prevalent condition affecting the anorectal area. Recent studies have highlighted glycolysis as a crucial metabolic pathway in numerous diseases. However, systematic studies exploring the distinct functions of the seven glycolysis-related genes (GRGs) during hemorrhoid development are limited. This investigation sought to elucidate the function of GRGs in hemorrhoid development and their correlation with immune cell infiltration. Using bioinformatics methodologies, we performed differential expression analysis, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), establishment of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, and analysis of immune infiltration. We identified 34 glycolysis-related differentially expressed genes (GRDEGs) in the GSE154650 dataset, including PCK1, ALDOB, and PCK2. GO and KEGG analyses showed a considerable increase of GRDEGs in monosaccharide and glucose metabolic processes and AMPK signaling cascades. PPI network analysis identified seven hub genes (HGs) that may act as essential regulatory nodes and potential drug targets. Additionally, we found notable associations between the infiltration patterns of monocytes and plasma cells and particular HGs, highlighting the significance of the immune microenvironment. This study established a foundation for subsequent functional validation and exploration of innovative therapeutic strategies targeting glycolysis-related pathways in hemorrhoids.
