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: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, multifactorial inflammatory bowel disease. The involvement of small GTPase-related genes (SGRGs) in UC remains poorly defined. This study aims to identify SGRGs associated with UC and elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which they regulate the pathological progression of UC. Methods: Multiple transcriptomic datasets were integrated to identify candidate SGRGs in UC. Four machine learning algorithms were utilized for biomarker screening, followed by the construction of a diagnostic nomogram. The robustness of the identified biomarkers and the nomogram was rigorously evaluated through external validation in multiple independent cohorts. Furthermore, the associations between biomarkers and clinical severity, as well as their capacity for differential diagnosis (UC vs. Crohn's disease (CD)), were assessed. Functional enrichment, immune infiltration, and cross-dataset single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) were employed for in-depth mechanistic investigation. Results: Three biomarkers ( Conclusion: This study systematically identifies
