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: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is T cell-mediated inflammatory disease affecting the oral mucosa, and its molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. Objective: This study aimed to screen for OLP-related hub genes and construct a network of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to explore the crucial mechanisms involved in the disease. Methods: Proteomic and transcriptomic sequencing were performed on oral mucosa collected from OLP patients and healthy participants, respectively. Limma package was used to screen differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and RNAs between groups. Shared genes between DEPs and DE mRNAs (DEGs) were subjected to functional enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis was used to screen for OLP-related genes. Furthermore, the OLP-related genes in the most significant PPI modules were defined as key genes, and LASSO analysis was further used to screen hub genes from the key genes. The area under curve (AUC) value was calculated from receiver operating characteristic curves to assess the diagnostic efficacy of hub genes. Finally, a ceRNAs regulatory network was constructed, and the hub genes were validated using qPCR analysis. Results: In the disease group, 103 shared DEGs (85 upregulated and 18 downregulated) were identified from both transcriptomic and proteomic data. These DEGs were involved in pathways such as antigen processing and presentation. COTL1, OAS2, HLA-A, and HLA-DPA1 were identified as hub genes. They had good diagnostic efficacy for OLP, with all AUC value exceeding 0.7 based on the transcriptomic and proteomic data. LncRNA MIR155HG regulated COTL1 and OAS2 by competitively binding to hsa-miR-1233-5p. Moreover, PCR analysis validated that these four hub genes were all highly expressed in OLP tissue compared with control tissue ( Conclusion: mRNAs, proteins and non-coding RNAs provide clues to study the mechanisms of OLP. Furthermore, circRNAs/lncRNAs-miRNAs-mRNA networks provide more information about potential novel mechanisms and diagnostic treatments for OLP.
