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

Pediatric adrenocortical carcinoma and adrenocortical adenoma are two rare diseases affecting children. Molecular analyses were performed to identify commonalities in gene expression between the diseases. Differentially expressed genes were identified for the pediatric adrenocortical adenoma and carcinoma tissues, as compared with normal tissues, using the expression dataset. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed for adenoma and carcinoma disease models, and common modules among the diseases were identified. A total of two common modules with 14 nodes and 20 nodes were revealed among the adenoma and carcinoma networks, respectively. Genes of the common modules were also identified to be the common hub genes of the disease models. Enrichment of the genes of the common modules suggested associations with steroid biosynthesis, the proteasome, cell cycle and metabolic pathways. Modularity, topological and functional analysis of the PPI networks revealed common modules among pediatric adenoma and carcinoma disease models, which provided insight into the underlying disease mechanisms and suggesting prospective targets for future study.
