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

backgroundLipids, significant signaling molecules, regulate a multitude of cellular responses and biological pathways in asthma which are closely associated with disease onset and progression. However, the characteristic lipid genes and metabolites in asthma remain to be explored. It is also necessary to further investigate the role of lipid molecules in asthma based on high-throughput data.

objectiveTo explore the biomarkers and molecular mechanisms associated with lipid metabolism in asthma.

methodsIn this study, we selected three mouse-derived datasets and one human dataset (GSE41665, GSE41667, GSE3184 and GSE67472) from the GEO database. Five machine learning algorithms, LASSO, SVM-RFE, Boruta, XGBoost and RF, were used to identify core gene. Additionally, we used non-negative matrix breakdown (NMF) clustering to identify two lipid molecular subgroups and constructed a lipid metabolism score by principal component analysis (PCA) to differentiate the subtypes. Finally, Western blot confirmed the altered expression levels of core genes in OVA (ovalbumin) and HDM+LPS (house dust mite+lipopolysaccharide) stimulated and challenged BALB/c mice, respectively. Results of non-targeted metabolomics revealed multiple differentially expressed metabolites in the plasma of OVA-induced asthmatic mice.

resultsCholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H) was finally localized as a core lipid metabolism gene in asthma and was verified to be highly expressed in two mouse models of asthma. Five-gene lipid metabolism constructed from CYP2E1, CH25H, PTGES, ALOX15 and ME1 was able to distinguish the subtypes effectively. The results of non-targeted metabolomics showed that most of the aberrantly expressed metabolites in the plasma of asthmatic mice were lipids, such as LPC 16:0, LPC 18:1 and LPA 18:1.

conclusionOur findings imply that the lipid-related gene CH25H may be a useful biomarker in the diagnosis of asthma.
