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

aimsStudies have confirmed that viral myocarditis (VMC) is one of the risk factors for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The molecular mechanisms underlying the progression from VMC to DCM remain unclear and require further investigation. METHODS AND

resultsThe mRNA microarray datasets GSE57338 (DCM) and GSE1145 (VMC) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The candidate key genes were further screened using weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), protein-protein interaction and external dataset validation, and the correlation between the candidate key genes and immune cells and the signalling pathways of the candidate key genes were observed by enrichment analysis and immune infiltration analysis. The expression of key genes was validated in the external dataset GSE35182. The crosstalk genes between DCM and VMC were mainly enriched in 'transcriptional misregulation in cancer', 'FoxO signalling pathway', 'AGE-RAGE signalling pathway in diabetic complications', 'thyroid hormone signalling pathway', 'AMPK signalling pathway', and other signalling pathways. The immune infiltration analysis indicated that VMC was mainly associated with resting dendritic cells and M0 macrophages, while DCM was mainly associated with monocytes, M0 macrophages, CD8+ T cells, resting CD4 memory T cells, naive CD4+ T cells, and resting mast cells. In DCM-related dataset GSE57338 and VMC-related dataset GSE1145, a total of 18 candidate key genes were differentially expressed. BLC6, FOXO1, and UBE2M were identified as the key genes that lead to the progression from VMC to DCM by GSE35182.

conclusionsThree key genes (BLC6, FOXO1, and UBE2M) were identified and provided new insights into the diagnosis and treatment of VMC with DCM.
