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

backgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent joint inflammation and progressive bone destruction. However, its complex pathogenesis remains poorly understood, and effective therapeutic targets are still lacking.

objectiveThis study aimed to identify key genes associated with RA and elucidate their biological significance by integrating bioinformatic analysis with experimental validation.

methodsWhole-transcriptome data from the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) of Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain and control mice (GSE147216 dataset, GEO database) were collected from NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were first identified. Subsequent analyses included Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment, construction of a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and identification of hub genes using a Random Forest machine learning algorithm. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to validate gene expression levels.

resultsA total of 76 DEGs were identified, including 64 upregulated and 12 downregulated genes. Among them,
