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

To uncover the genes associated with the development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), an ESCC microarray dataset was used to identify genes differentially expressed between ESCC and normal control tissues. The dataset GSE17351 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus, containing 5 tumor esophageal mucosa samples and 5 adjacent normal esophageal mucosa samples from 5 male patients with ESCC. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the Linear Models for Microarray Data R package. Then, a co-expression network was constructed using the Weighted Correlation Network Analysis (WGCNA) package, and co-expression network modules were obtained with a hierarchical clustering algorithm. Additionally, functional enrichment analyses for DEGs in the top 2 modules with the highest significance were respectively conducted using the WGCNA package and the cluster Profiler package. In total, 487 upregulated and 468 downregulated DEGs were identified. A total of 24 modules were obtained from the co-expression network, and the top 2 modules with the highest significance, designated as 'blue4' and 'magenta', were further analyzed. In the module blue4, DEGs were significantly enriched in a number of Gene Ontology terms, including 'spindle organization' [e.g., ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 C (
