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

purposeEpilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder. We aim to investigate the underlying mechanism of epilepsy with partial least squares- (PLS-) based gene expression analysis, which is more sensitive than routine variance/regression analysis.

methodsTwo microarray data sets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. PLS analysis was used to identify differentially expressed genes. Gene ontology and network analysis were also implemented.

resultsA total of 752 genes were identified to be differentially expressed, including 575 depressed and 177 overexpressed genes in patients. For GO enrichment analysis, except for processes related to the nervous system, we also identified overrepresentation of dysregulated genes in angiogenesis. Network analysis revealed two hub genes, CUL3 and EP300, which may serve as potential targets in further therapeutic studies.

conclusionOur results here may provide new understanding for the underlying mechanisms of epilepsy pathogenesis and will offer potential targets for producing new treatments.
