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

Key genes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) were investigated through systematically tracking the dysregulated modules from protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. Microarray data of normal subjects and CLL patients recruited from ArrayExpress database were applied to extract differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Additionally, we re-weighted the PPI network of normal and CLL conditions by means of Pearsons correlation coefficient (PCC). Furthermore, clique-merging method was applied to extract the modules and then the altered modules were screened out. The intersection genes were selected from miss and add genes in the altered modules. The common genes were screened from the intersection genes and DEGs in CLL. A total of 734 DEGs were screened by statistical analysis. In this investigation, there were 1,805 and 703 modules in normal as well as disease PPI network. In addition, 875 altered modules were obtained which included 145 miss genes, 353 add genes and 85 intersection genes. Finally, in-depth analysis revealed 9 mutual genes between the intersection genes and DEGs in CLL. Our analysis revealed several key genes associated with CLL by systematically tracking the dysregulated modules, which might be candidate targets for diagnosis and management of CLL.
