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

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the etiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman's disease, etc. In this study, we firstly systematically constructed the KSHV-encoded miRNA-regulated co-expressed protein-protein interaction network (CePPIN), which display the biological knowledge regarding the mechanism of miRNA-regulated KSHV pathogenesis. Then, we investigated the topological parameters for the proteins in CePPIN, especially for those miRNA targets and we found that cellular target genes of KSHV-encoded miRNAs tend to be hubs and bottlenecks in the network. Then the GO and KEGG pathway analysis suggests that miRNA targets are involved in various cellular processes mostly related to immune regulate and cell cycle. Enrichment analysis was also performed to identify the six important functional modules which are proven to be highly related to KSHV pathogenesis. Finally, difference analysis of common targets and specific targets shows that two kinds of targets are different in terms of both topological properties and enriched functions, thus we can extrapolate that the functions of KSHV-encoded miRNAs can be also classified into two generic groups, one can act as functional mimics of some oncogenic human miRNAs which contribute to tumorigenesis and the other can contribute to maintaining viral survival.
