Treatment Naïve and Follow-Up Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Rectal Gene Expression

Whole-study status Not suitable

Dataset does not meet the current suitability threshold.

Selected cohort requirements

Samples meeting selected requirements: 0 cases / 0 controls

View matching samples

418 case / 0 control samples elsewhere in the study have incomplete or conflicting evidence; they are not included above

Patient pairs verified in indexed sample metadata: 0

A case/control comparison meeting these requirements is not confirmed.

Counts describe samples, not independent patients. Pair verification uses explicit subject identifiers in indexed sample metadata. Zero verified pairs does not establish that the study is unpaired; reported matched-normal design alone is insufficient.

Summary

PROTECT is a multicenter pediatric inception cohort study of response to standardized colitis therapy. In order to more explicitly model progression to colectomy within one year of diagnosis, we performed differential expression analysis between baseline rectal RNAseq biopsies of 21 patients who progressed to colectomy, and 310 who did not. We report rectal gene expression of pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis at diagnosis and at one year follow-up.

Overall design

418 rectal biopsies were obtained from pediatric ulcerative colitis patients during colonoscopy. Transcriptome profiling was performed with RNA-Seq.

Metadata Quality Components

Analysis Readiness

Not ready
55% DE readiness

Contrast completeness

10/25 pts

Only one side of the contrast is present; downstream DE needs both groups.

Minimum group size

0/20 pts

Minimum group size cannot be evaluated until a complete contrast exists.

Processed data availability

20/20 pts

Processed data is marked available in the GEO index.

Sample decision clarity

15/15 pts

All samples are assigned to a case or control group.

Blocking warnings

0/10 pts

Critical warnings must be resolved before downstream analysis.

Metadata normalization

10/10 pts

Metadata quality is high enough to support downstream handoff.

Blockers

  • No complete case/control contrast is available.
  • Critical dataset warnings must be resolved.

Next Steps

  • Resolve critical warnings before downstream analysis.

Analysis Preparation Checklist

4/6 ready

Group labels reviewed

Blocked

No complete case/control grouping exists yet.

Review the sample grouping table and assign both case and control groups.

Minimum sample count met

Blocked

At least one group has fewer than 2 samples.

Choose a larger dataset or merge only scientifically valid groups.

Processed counts available

Ready

Processed data availability is marked true in the GEO index.

Verify that downloaded processed files contain usable count or expression identifiers.

Ambiguous samples handled

Ready

No review-needed or unassigned samples are present in the proposed grouping.

Review the grouping table for biologically meaningful differences that the automated checks may not detect.

Exclusion decisions recorded

Ready

No hard-excluded samples were detected by the current rules.

Record any manual exclusions in the downstream analysis notes.

Source traceability preserved

Ready

The dataset and sample accessions can be traced back to GEO.

Keep GEO accessions with exported metadata.

Bioinformatician Review

Bioinformatician review required

Ask a bioinformatician to review grouping, count availability, exclusions, and design before DE.

Analysis readiness has blockers that must be resolved before DE.

Analysis preparation checklist contains blocked items.

No complete case/control or treatment/control contrast is available.

At least one comparison group has fewer than two samples.

Critical dataset warnings are present.

Study design is model-system or unclear and should be reviewed before analysis.

Intent Interpretation

  • Downgrade or exclusion reason Comparison: Unclear study design. Specimen: Biopsy. Comparison suitability: 0%. Derived from current-intent ranking reasons.

Ranking Facts

Supporting evidence

  • Prioritized assay: bulk RNA-seq is the active assay expectation.
  • Interpreted disease metadata: Ulcerative colitis.
  • Processed data is available for downstream review.

Cautions

  • Comparison: Unclear study design. Specimen: Biopsy. Comparison suitability: 0%.
  • Downgraded for tissue search because study design or specimen source is unclear.
  • Unclear study design downgraded for patient tissue tumor-vs-normal search intent.
  • Missing or unclear metadata. Unclear study design downgraded for patient tissue tumor-vs-normal search intent.
  • Overall score capped because comparison suitability is weak for the selected search intent.
  • Missing or unclear metadata. Comparison - Unclear study design. Specimen - Biopsy. Comparison suitability: 0%.
  • Missing or unclear metadata. Downgraded for tissue search because study design or specimen source is unclear.
  • Comparison suitability score is below the Phase 1 recommended threshold.
