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

backgroundParkinson's disease (PD) is affecting 5 million people worldwide, but the response mechanisms of the striatum are still unclear. Therefore, identification of gene expression alterations in the striatum will greatly assist the development of novel therapy strategies.

methodsWe performed a comprehensive gene expression analysis in 15 PD patients and 15 normal controls to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using the expression profile GSE20291 from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were used to define functions and pathways altered in PD. Protein-protein interaction network was constructed to find out the modules with close interactions.

resultsTotal715 DEGs including 268 up-regulated and 447 down-regulated genes were obtained. GO functional enrichment analysis indicated that the genes related with neurons function and cell morphogenesis might be changed upon PD. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that most of the genes were enriched in the nodes of Gap junction, calcium signaling pathway, phosphatidylinositol signaling system, long-term potentiation, Alzheimer's disease and GnRH signaling pathway. Protein-protein interaction network and module analysis suggested that some apoptosis related genes, such as PRKCA, CDC42 and BCL2 may play critical roles in striatal neurons growth.

conclusionIntrinsic striatal tyrosine hydroxylase interneurons growth may be promoted by changes in several genes expression and thus reduce the functional excitatory synapses.
