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: Inflammation-related pathway activation contributes to the progression of burn injury and keloid formation. Objective: Our study aimed to investigate the role of the cGAS-STING pathway in regulating eosinophils during the progression of burn injury and keloid formation. Methods: Key cGAS-STING pathway and eosinophils (CE)-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in burn injury patient bulk profiles (GSE19743) using Limma, WGCNA, CIBERSORT, and STRING frameworks. Next, a systemic and explainable machine learning model was utilized to identify predictive model hub genes involved in keloid formation of burn injury patients (GSE37069) and burn-injury-associated keloid patient (GSE42270), based on CE-associated DEGs. The pathogenic role of hub genes and eosinophils in keloid formation was further assessed in a keloid patient single-cell profile (GSE243716) using cutting-edge single-cell analytical frameworks, such as AUCELL, sctenifoldknk, and Bayesprism. In addition, a deep learning algorithm (DrugRefLector) and molecular docking were employed to identify natural compounds targeting the hub gene for the treatment of burn-injury-associated keloid (GSE42270). Finally, Results: An integrated CE-associated gene signature can indicate keloid formation in burn injury patients. CCL5 can be considered as an up-regulated pathogenic factor and therapeutic target for Icariin, which is involved in keloid pathogenesis. Conclusion: This is the first study to identify a CA-associated signature in keloid formation among burn injury patients.
