Revealing the Key MSCs Niches and Pathogenic Genes in Influencing CEP Homeostasis: A Conjoint Analysis of Single-Cell and WGCNA.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
Degenerative disc disease (DDD), a major contributor to discogenic pain, which is mainly resulted from the dysfunction of nucleus pulposus (NP), annulus fibrosis (AF) and cartilage endplate (CEP) cells. Genetic and cellular components alterations in CEP may influence disc homeostasis, while few single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) report in CEP makes it a challenge to evaluate cellular heterogeneity in CEP. Here, this study conducted a first conjoint analysis of weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and scRNA-seq in CEP, systematically analyzed the interested module, immune infiltration situation, and cell niches in CEP. WGCNA and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network determined a group of gene signatures responsible for degenerative CEP, including BRD4, RAF1, ANGPT1, CHD7 and NOP56; differentially immune analysis elucidated that CD4
