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: Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic pain syndrome with an elusive diagnosis and poorly understood pathogenesis, in which oxidative stress (OS) is increasingly implicated. This study aimed to identify and validate OS-related diagnostic biomarkers for IC using an integrative computational and experimental approach. Methods: We performed bioinformatics analysis on human bladder transcriptomic datasets (GSE11783, GSE57560) to identify OS-related differentially expressed genes (DEOSGs). Three machine learning algorithms [least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE), random forest] were applied to screen for robust diagnostic markers. Immune cell infiltration was analyzed using Cell-type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT). Putative therapeutic agents were identified through the Drug Signatures Database (DSigDB) and further assessed via molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The top candidate genes were validated in a cyclophosphamide-induced rat model of IC via reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting. Results: We identified 58 DEOSGs in IC. Three machine learning methods consistently pinpointed Conclusions: Our study identifies
