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

The Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic is posing a serious challenge to human health. Burn victims are susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection leading to delayed recovery and even profound debilitation. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying COVID-19 and severe burn are yet to be elucidated. In our work, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from GSE157852 and GSE19743, and the common DEGs between COVID-19 and severe burn were extracted. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), protein-protein interactions (PPI), gene coexpression network, and multifactor regulatory network analysis of hub genes were carried out. A total of 44 common DEGs were found between COVID-19 and severe burn. Functional analyses indicated that the pathways of immune regulation and cytokine response participated collectively in the development of severe burn and progression of COVID-19. Ten significant hub genes were identified, including MERTK, SIRPA, TLR3, ITGB1, DPP4, PTPRC, LY75, IFIT1, IL4R, and CD2. In addition, the gene coexpression network and regulatory network were constructed containing 42 microRNAs (miRNAs) and 2 transcription factors (TFs). Our study showed the shared pathogenic link between COVID-19 and severe burn. The identified common genes and pivotal pathways pave a new road for future mechanistic researches in severe burn injuries complicated with COVID-19.
