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

The incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is increasing rapidly throughout the world. Hence, there is an urgent need for identifying more specific and sensitive biomarkers to explorate the pathogenesis of PTC. In this study, three pairs of stage I PTC tissues and matched normal adjacent tissues were sequenced by RNA-Seq, and 719 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened. KEGG pathway enrichment analyses indicated that the DEGs were significantly enriched in 28 pathways. A total of 18 nodes consisting of 20 DEGs were identified in the top 10% of KEGG integrated networks. The functions of DEGs were further analysed by GO. The 13 selected genes were confirmed by qRT-PCR in 16 stage I PTC patients and by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The relationship interactions between DEGs were analysed by protein-protein interaction networks and chromosome localizations. Finally, four newly discovered genes, COMP, COL3A1, ZAP70, and CD247, were found to be related with PTC clinical phenotypes, and were confirmed by Spearman's correlation analyses in TCGA database. These four DEGs might be promising biomarkers for early-stage PTC, and provide an experimental foundation for further exploration of the pathogenesis of early-stage PTC.
