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 molecular mechanism of the occurrence and development of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has been widely explored, but has not been completely elucidated. The present study aimed to identify and analyze genes associated with PTC by bioinformatics methods. Two independent datasets were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between PTC tissues and matched non-cancerous tissues were identified using GEO2R tool. The common DEGs in the two datasets were screened out by VennDiagram package, and analyzed by the following tools: KOBAS, Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID), Search tool for the retrieval of interacting genes/proteins (STRING), UALCAN and Gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA). A total of 513 common DEGs, including 259 common up-regulated and 254 common down-regulated genes in PTC, were screened out. These common up-regulated and down-regulated DEGs were most significantly enriched in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and metabolic pathways, respectively. Protein-protein interactions (PPI) network analysis showed that the up-regulated genes:
