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 investigate the genetic effects of hydrocortisone (HC) treatment on keloids and screen medicines to be used in a combination therapy of keloids with HC. The dataset GSE7890 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus. It contained data regarding 4 fibroblast samples from normal scar tissue and 5 samples from keloid tissue with HC treatment, as well as 5 samples from normal scar and 5 samples from keloids without HC treatment. Following the identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), the functions of these DEGs were analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analyses. Furthermore, adverse effects of HC were identified using WebGestalt. Additionally, candidate small molecule drugs associated with keloids were selected from a connectivity map database. A total of 166 and 41 DEGs, with and without HC treatment respectively, were only present in dermal fibroblasts from keloids (termed genesets A and B, respectively). A set of 26 DEGs was present following both treatments (geneset C). A number of DEGs in geneset B (
