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

backgroundNeuropathic pain (NP) is one of the most common types of chronic pain and significantly compromises the quality of life. Autophagy is an intracellular catabolic process that is required to maintain cellular homeostasis in response to various stresses. The role of autophagy-related genes in the diagnosis and treatment of neuropathic pain remains unclear.

methodsWe identified autophagy-related differentially expressed genes (ARDEGs) and differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) in neuropathic pain by bioinformatics analysis of the GSE145226 and GSE145199 datasets. These ARDEGs and their co-expressed genes were subjected to Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and friends analysis. Meanwhile, we constructed TFs-ARDEGs, miRNA-ARDEGs regulatory network through ChIPBase database and the HTFtarget database, multiMir R package. Finally, we performed immune infiltration analysis of ARDEGs by Single Sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA).

resultsWe identified 2 potential autophagy-related differentially expressed genes (Sirt2 and ST7) that may be closely associated with the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain. GO, KEGG and GSEA analysis revealed that these two ARDEGs were mainly enriched in pyridine nucleotide metabolic process, nicotinamide nucleotide metabolic process, Nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, NF-κB pathway, KRAS signaling, P53 pathway. In the TFs-ARDEGs and miRNA-ARDEGs regulatory network, miR-140-5p and Cebpb were predicted to be as crucial regulators in the progression of NP. For the ssGSEA results, Sirt2 was positively correlated with Eosinophil and Effector memory CD8

conclusionTwo autophagy-related differentially expressed genes, especially Sirt2, may be potential biomarkers for NP, providing more evidence about the crucial role of autophagy in neuropathic pain.
