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: Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and the unfolded protein response (UPR) are critical in secondary spinal cord injury (SCI), but their systematic characterization and link to immune infiltration remain unclear. This study aimed to identify key ERS/UPR-related genes and their association with the immune microenvironment to find robust biomarkers for SCI. Methods: We analyzed bulk RNA-seq data (GSE151371) to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs), followed by pathway enrichment analyses. Machine learning (SVM-RFE) and protein-protein interaction networks were used to screen for hub genes. The identified hub genes were validated using an independent cohort (GSE5296), single-cell sequencing data (GSE213240), and qRT-PCR in a murine SCI model. Results: We identified 17 ERS-related and 27 UPR-related DEGs, primarily enriched in neuron death pathways. SCI samples showed elevated ERS/UPR phenotype scores that positively correlated with myeloid cell infiltration. PPI analysis pinpointed Conclusion: ERS/UPR activation is a critical component of the post-SCI transcriptomic response and is closely linked to immune remodeling.
