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

backgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by intestinal dysfunction. Ferroptosis is a critical pathogenic mechanism in IBD. However, the therapeutic targets for ferroptosis-related IBD progression remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to identify potential therapeutic targets associated with ferroptosis in IBD.

methodsSingle-cell RNA sequencing data (GSE134809) were analyzed using gene set scoring, cell-cell communication, pseudotime analysis, and high-dimensional gene co-expression network analysis (hdWGCNA) to screen for ferroptosis-related targets.

resultsBioinformatic analysis of 28,974 cells identified that fibroblasts, particularly the Fibro_2 subpopulation, were highly associated with ferroptosis, with ANXA2 identified as a core target.

conclusionANXA2 is highly expressed in fibroblasts and is associated with the ferroptosis of IBD, providing a novel therapeutic target for treatment of IBD.
