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

backgroundUnderstanding the molecular mechanisms is important in development and therapy of endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma.

objectiveTo identify key genes in endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma.

methodsThe data of mRNA, miRNA and DNA methylation were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and differential analysis was performed. Then, bioinformatic analysis was used to explore the regulatory mechanisms of miRNA and DNA methylation on gene expression. The regulatory network between differentially expressed miRNAs and target genes was established. Finally, the quantitative RT-PCR was applied to validate the bioinformatics results.

resultsWe obtained biological omics data of 381 patients with endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma from TCGA data portal. After data processing, up to 2068 DEGs and 69 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified. Prediction and correlation analysis revealed that 175 DEGs that were not only the target genes but also negatively correlated with the screened differentially expressed miRNAs. After the integrated analysis of differentially methylated CpG islands and DEGs, 16 related genes were obtained. The quantitative RT-PCR results were roughly consistent with the bioinformatics analysis.

conclusionsThe altered DEGs (ZEB1, ZEB2, TIMP2, TCF4, CYP1B1, PITX1, PITX2, ZNF154 and TSPYL5) may be involved in tumor differentiation of endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma and could be used as potential therapeutic targets for the disease.
