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 and aims: To identify biomarkers to predict acute liver failure and investigate the mechanisms and immune-related pathways linked to its onset and progression. Methods: We analyzed gene expression differences between patients with acute liver failure (ALF) and controls in the GSE14668 dataset. Clinically relevant modules and key ALF-associated genes were identified using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) in conjunction with differential gene expression (DEG) analysis. Enrichment analysis was carried out and protein-protein interaction networks were constructed to understand the functions and pathways. Six potential diagnostic biomarkers were identified using machine learning algorithms. Diagnostic performance was assessed via column charts and area under the curve calculations. Single-sample gene set enrichment analysis evaluated the relationship between known marker gene sets and potential biomarker expression. We also examined diagnostic biomarker mRNA levels in ALF models Result: We found 352 DEGs associated with ALF. WGCNA analysis and intersecting DEGs identified 191 significant ALF-related genes. Machine learning identified Conclusion: We identified
