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

backgroundPatients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were vulnerable to venous thromboembolism (VTE), which further increases the risk of unfavorable outcomes. However, neither genetic correlations nor shared genes underlying COVID-19 and VTE are well understood.

objectiveThis study aimed to characterize genetic correlations and common pathogenic mechanisms between COVID-19 and VTE.

methodsWe used linkage disequilibrium score (LDSC) regression and Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the genetic associations and causal effects between COVID-19 and VTE, respectively. Then, the COVID-19 and VTE-related datasets were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and analyzed by bioinformatics and systems biology approaches with R software, including weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), enrichment analysis, and single-cell transcriptome sequencing analysis. The miRNA-genes and transcription factor (TF)-genes interaction networks were conducted by NetworkAnalyst. We performed the secondary analysis of the ATAC-seq and Chip-seq datasets to address the epigenetic-regulating relationship of the shared genes.

resultsThis study demonstrated positive correlations between VTE and COVID-19 by LDSC and bidirectional MR analysis. A total of 26 potential shared genes were discovered from the COVID-19 dataset (GSE196822) and the VTE dataset (GSE19151), with 19 genes showing positive associations and 7 genes exhibiting negative associations with these diseases. After incorporating two additional datasets, GSE164805 (COVID-19) and GSE48000 (VTE), two hub genes TP53I3 and SLPI were identified and showed up-regulation and diagnostic capabilities in both illnesses. Furthermore, this study illustrated the landscapes of immune processes in COVID-19 and VTE, revealing the downregulation in effector memory CD8+ T cells and activated B cells. The single-cell sequencing analysis suggested that the hub genes were predominantly expressed in the monocytes of COVID-19 patients at high levels. Additionally, we identified common regulators of hub genes, including five miRNAs (miR-1-3p, miR-203a-3p, miR-210-3p, miR-603, and miR-124-3p) and one transcription factor (RELA).

conclusionsCollectively, our results highlighted the significant correlations between COVID-19 and VTE and pinpointed TP53I3 and SLPI as hub genes that potentially link the severity of both conditions. The hub genes and their common regulators might present an opportunity for the simultaneous treatment of these two diseases.
