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.
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
Keloids represent a pathological fibroproliferative disorder with high recurrence rates and limited therapeutic options. This study integrates multi-dataset transcriptomics (GSE158395, GSE188952, GSE92566, GSE173900) and machine learning algorithms (XGBoost, Random Forest, LASSO) to systematically investigate the role of lactylation modification in keloid pathogenesis. We identified 26 lactylation-related differentially expressed genes (15 upregulated, 11 downregulated) enriched in oxidative stress, immune response, and extracellular matrix pathways. Machine learning convergence revealed five lactylation hub genes (PRDX1, CSRP1, IFI16, CALD1, VIM), with PRDX1 exhibiting the highest diagnostic efficacy (AUC = 0.85). Immune infiltration analysis demonstrated significant correlations between hub genes and dysregulated immune cells. Experimental validation confirmed reduced PRDX1 expression in keloid tissues; its knockdown in fibroblasts elevated ROS levels and enhanced proliferation and migration. Regulatory network analysis predicted shared transcription factors (KLF12, NFKB1, MYC) governing hub genes, while drug screening prioritized three clinically actionable compounds (acetaminophen, valproic acid, vorinostat) targeting PRDX1. These findings establish lactylation as a critical regulator of keloid pathogenesis and identify PRDX1 as a promising therapeutic target.
