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

Background: Renal transplantation plays an essential role in the quality of life of patients with end-stage renal disease. At least 12% of the renal patients receiving transplantations show graft rejection. One of the methods used to diagnose renal transplantation rejection is renal allograft biopsy. This procedure is associated with some risks such as bleeding and arteriovenous fistula formation. In this study, we applied a bioinformatics approach to identify serum markers for graft rejection in patients receiving a renal transplantation. Methods: Transcriptomic data were first retrieved from the blood of renal transplantation rejection patients using the GEO database. The data were then used to construct the protein-protein interaction and gene regulatory networks using Cytoscape software. Next, network analysis was performed to identify hub-bottlenecks, and key blood markers involved in renal graft rejection. Lastly, the gene ontology and functional pathways related to hub-bottlenecks were detected using PANTHER and DAVID servers. Results: In PPIN and GRN, SYNCRIP, SQSTM1, GRAMD1A, FAM104A, ND2, TPGS2, ZNF652, RORA, and MALAT1 were the identified critical genes. In GRN, miR-155, miR17, miR146b, miR-200 family, and GATA2 were the factors that regulated critical genes. The MAPK, neurotrophin, and TNF signaling pathways, IL-17, and human cytomegalovirus infection, human papillomavirus infection, and shigellosis were identified as significant pathways involved in graft rejection. Concusion: The above-mentioned genes can be used as diagnostic and therapeutic serum markers of transplantation rejection in renal patients. The newly predicted biomarkers and pathways require further studies.
