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

Brain ischemia leads to energy depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal cell death. The present study was designed to identify key genes and pathways associated with brain ischemia. The gene expression profile GSE52001, including 3 normal brain samples and 3 cerebral ischemia samples, was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the limma package. Then functional and pathway enrichment analyses were performed by the MATHT tool. Protein‑protein interaction (PPI) network, module selection and microRNA (miRNA)‑target gene network were constructed utilizing Cytoscape software. A total of 488 DEGs were identified (including 281 upregulated and 207 downregulated genes). In the PPI network, Rac family small GTPase 2 (RAC2) had higher degrees. RAC2 was significantly enriched in the FcγR‑mediated phagocytosis pathway. miR‑29A/B/C had a higher degree in the miRNA‑target gene network. Insulin like growth factor 1 (Igf1) was identified as the target gene for miR‑29A/B/C. RAC2 may function in brain ischemia through mediating the FcγR‑mediated phagocytosis pathway. Meanwhile, miR‑29A/B/C and their targets gene Igf1 may serve important roles in the development and progression of brain ischemia.
