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

The aim of this study was to identify key genes and investigate the immunological mechanisms of atopic dermatitis (AD) at the molecular level via bioinformatics analysis. Gene expression profiles (GSE32924, GSE107361, GSE121212, and GSE230200) were obtained for screening common differentially expressed genes (co-DEGs) from the gene expression omnibus database. Functional enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction network and module construction, and identification of common hub genes were performed. Hub genes were validated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis based on GSE130588 and GSE16161. NetworkAnalyst was used to detect microRNAs (miRNAs) and transcription factors (TFs) associated with the hub genes. The immune cell infiltration was analyzed using the CIBERSORT algorithm to further analyze the correlation between hub genes and immune cells. A total of 146 co-DEGs were obtained, showing significant enrichment in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Seven hub genes were identified by Cytoscape and validated with external datasets. Subsequent prediction of miRNAs and TFs targeting these hub genes revealed their regulatory roles. Analysis of immune cell infiltration and correlation revealed a significant positive correlation between CCL22 expression and the number of dendritic cells activated. The identified hub genes represent potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets in the immunological pathogenesis of AD.
