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

objectivesAs a high-cost neurological disability, spinal cord injury (SCI) can result in permanent paralysis and loss of sensation. To identify the temporal genes involved in the pathogenesis of SCI, we analysed the expression profile of GSE45006.

methodsGSE45006 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus, including 20 SCI samples (samples at 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 8 weeks after injury, four repetitions for each time point) and 4 normal samples. The Bayesian Estimation of Temporal Regulation (BETR) and randomForest packages were used to screen the temporal genes and the top 100 temporal genes, respectively. Then, the gplots package and Pearson correlation analysis separately were used to perform hot map analysis and expression pattern clustering for the top 100 temporal genes. Using the clusterProfiler package and TargetMine tool, their potential functions were analysed by enrichment analyses. Moreover, interaction relationships between these temporal genes and pathways were investigated by pathway-gene crosslinking networks.

resultsIn total, 1907 temporal genes were identified. The top 100 temporal genes were obtained and divided into six clusters. Most of the gene functions were enriched in biological process categories. ARG1 and NOS3 in cluster 4 were enriched in biological process of arginine catabolic process. TGFβ2, TGFβ3, ALDH2 and ALDH3A2 were correlated with numerous pathways in the pathway-gene crosslinking network. Pathways related to TGFβ2 and TGFβ3 were connected to pathways related to ARG1 and NOS3 via ARG1.

conclusionSeveral temporal genes, including TGFβ2, TGFβ3, ALDH2, ALDH3A2, ARG1 and NOS3, might be involved in SCI.
