Title: Contribution of classification based on ferroptosis-related genes to the heterogeneity of
MAFLD
Version: 3 Date: 01 Nov 2021
Reviewer:  Guo-hua Huang
Reviewer's report:
1. There are a large number of typo or grammatical error in the current manuscript. For example,
(1) In the abstract section, the necessary space between sentences is missing.
(2) In the Methods section of abstract, the authors should one capitalize the word weighted in
“……, Weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) and enrichment analyses.”
(3) In the introduction “In this study, we systematacially analyzed the expression of widely
reported ferroptosis”, the word “systematacially” should be corrected as systematically.
(4) In the sentence “The inclusion criteria including i age 18 and above; ii the diagnosis of
MAFLD was based on liver”, a bracket should be added before I and ii to avoid the ambiguity
2. The abbreviation is not subject to the normal standard, the firstly appearing abbreviation
should be with full name.
3. In the Method section, the authors concluded finding, like that “Principal component analysis
(PCA) was performed to downscale sample data to identify differences in distribution between
subtypes.” This is extremely outrageous.
