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

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is characterized by delayed diagnosis and poor survival rate. Research efforts have focused on novel diagnostic technologies for this type of cancer. Transcriptomic microarray technology is a useful research strategy for investigating the molecular properties of CCA. The objective of the present study was to identify candidate biomarkers with high potential for clinical application in CCA using a meta‑analysis‑based approach. Gene expression profiles of CCA were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database for integrated analysis. All differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment. Protein‑protein interaction (PPI) networks were further constructed, hub proteins were identified and functional modules were extracted. Following integrated analysis of the seven eligible datasets (428 cases and 46 controls), a set of 1,080 DEGs was identified, including 710 upregulated and 370 downregulated genes. Functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that 'chromosome organization' was a significantly enriched GO term in the biological process category. 'DNA replication', 'influenza A', and 'lysosome' were the top three significantly enriched KEGG pathways. Furthermore, PPI network analysis indicated that the significant hub proteins were histone deacetylase 1, cullin‑associated NEDD8‑dissociated protein 1, ubiquitin D, early growth response protein 1 and glycogen synthase kinase 3β. The majority of these proteins are involved in CCA. These results provided a set of targets that may help researchers to clarify further the underlying mechanisms of CCA tumorigenesis.
