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

The present study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) regulated by transcription factors (TFs) in glioblastoma, by conducting a bioinformatics analysis. The results of the present study may provide potential therapeutic targets that are involved in the development of glioblastoma. The GSE4290 raw data set was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and consisted of 23 non‑tumor samples and 77 glioblastoma (grade 4) tumor samples. Robust Multichip Averaging was used to identify DEGs between the glioblastoma and non‑tumor samples. Functional enrichment analysis of the DEGs was also performed. Based on the TRANSFAC® database, TFs associated with the glioblastoma gene expression profile were used to construct a regulatory network. Furthermore, trimmed subnets were identified according to calculated Z‑scores. A total of 676 DEGs were identified, of which 190 were upregulated and 496 were downregulated. Gene Ontology analysis demonstrated that the majority of these DEGs were functionally enriched in synaptic transmission, regulation of vesicle‑mediated transport and ion‑gated channel activity. In addition, the enriched Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway included neuroactive ligand‑receptor interaction, calcium signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway and cell cycle. Based on the TRANSFAC® database, transcriptional regulatory networks with 2,246 nodes and 4,515 regulatory pairs were constructed. According to the Z‑scores, the following candidate TFs were identified: TP53, SP1, JUN, STAT3 and SPI1; alongside their downstream DEGs. TP53 was the only differentially expressed TF. These candidate TFs and their downstream DEGs may have important roles in the progression of glioblastoma, and could be potential biomarkers for clinical treatment.
