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

backgroundProgesterone plays an essential role in mammalian ovulation. Although much is known about this process, the gene networks involved in ovulation have yet to be established. When analyze the mechanisms of ovulation, we often need to determine key genes or pathways to investigate the reproduction features. However, traditional experimental methods have a number of limitations.

resultsData, in this study, were acquired from GSE41836 and GSE54584 which provided different samples. They were analyzed with the GEO2R and 546 differentially expressed genes were obtained from two data sets using bioinformatics (absolute log

conclusionsThe results suggested four key genes, nine predicted genes and eight pathways to be involved in progestogenic networks. These networks provide important regulatory genes and signaling pathways which are involved in ovulation. This study provides a fundamental basis for subsequent functional studies to investigate the regulation of mammalian ovulation.
