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 present study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and biological processes (BPs) associated with asthma. DEGs between allergic asthma and healthy controls were screened from GSE15823. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were performed using Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed, followed by module mining and functional analysis. Additionally, GSE41649 was downloaded to validate the reliability of the results. In GSE41649, DEGs were identified and compared with key DEGs identified in GSE15823. A total of 43 upregulated and 275 downregulated DEGs were obtained from GSE15823. Upregulated DEGs, such as nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2), were enriched in BPs related to oxidation reduction. Downregulated DEGs, such as chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 19 (CCL21) and Cys-X-Cys ligand (CXCL9), were enriched in immune response-related BPs. Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type C (PTPRC), CCL21, and CXCL9 were identified as hub genes. The DEGs in module 1 were significantly involved in the chemokine signaling pathway (P<0.05). The expression of the key genes obtained in GSE15823 demonstrated the same variation directions in the two datasets. The immune response, oxidants and nitric oxide metabolic pathways may have important roles in the progression of asthma. DEGs of PTPRC, CCL21, CXCL9 and NOS2 may be the potential targets for asthma diagnosis and treatment.
