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

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death, has been associated with many virus infections. However, the role of ferroptosis in dengue virus (DENV) infection remains to be clarified. In our study, a dengue fever microarray dataset (GSE51808) of whole blood samples was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and a list of ferroptosis related genes (FRGs) was extracted from the FerrDb. We identified 37 ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (FR-DEGs) in DENV-infected patient blood samples compared to healthy individuals. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses as well as protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of FR-DEGs revealed that these 37 FR-DEGs were mainly related to the C-type lectin receptor and p53 signaling pathway. Nine out of the 37 FR-DEGs (HSPA5, CAV1, HRAS, PTGS2, JUN, IL6, ATF3, XBP1, and CDKN2A) were hub genes, of which 5 were validated by qRT-PCR in DENV-infected HepG2 cells. Finally, using miRNA-mRNA regulatory network, we identified has-miR-124-3p and has-miR-16-5p as the most critical miRNAs in regulating the expression of these hub genes. In conclusion, our findings demonstrated that 5 FR-DEGs, JUN, IL6, ATF3, XBP1, and CDKN2A, and two miRNAs, has-miR-124-3p and has-miR-16-5p may implicate an essential role of ferroptosis in DENV infection, and further studies are warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms.
