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: Studies suggest that immune and inflammation processes may be involved in the development of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); however, their roles remain unclear. This study aims to identify key genes associated with immune response and inflammation in IPF using bioinformatics. Methods: We identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the GSE93606 dataset and GSE28042 dataset, then obtained differentially expressed immune- and inflammation-related genes (DE-IFRGs) by overlapping DEGs. Two machine learning algorithms were used to further screen key genes. Genes with an area under curve (AUC) of > 0.7 in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, significant expression and consistent trends across datasets were considered key genes. Based on these key genes, we carried out nomogram construction, enrichment and immune analyses, regulatory network mapping, drug prediction, and expression verification. Results: 27 DE-IFRGs were identified by intersecting 256 DEGs, 1793 immune-related genes, and 1019 inflammation-related genes. Three genes ( Conclusion: This study identified three key genes (
