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

In order to explore the molecular mechanisms behind the pathogenesis of acute liver failure (ALF) associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the present study aimed to identify potential key genes and pathways involved using samples from patients with HBV-associated ALF. The GSE38941 array dataset was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between 10 liver samples from 10 healthy donors and 17 liver specimens from 4 patients with HBV-associated ALF were analyzed using the Linear Models for Microarray Data package. Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses of the DEGs were performed, followed by functional annotation of the genes and construction of a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Subnetwork modules were subsequently identified and analyzed. In total, 3142 DEGs were identified, of which 1755 were upregulated and 1387 were downregulated. The extracellular exosome, immune response, and inflammatory response pathways may potentially be used as biomarkers of ALF pathogenesis. In total, 17 genes (including
