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

BACKGROUND/

aimsLeiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a tumor derived from malignant mesenchymal tissue associated with poor prognosis. Determining potential prognostic markers for LMS can provide clues for early diagnosis, recurrence, and treatment.

methodsRNA sequence data and clinical features of 103 LMS were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Application Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was used to construct a free-scale gene co-expression network, to study the interrelationship between its potential modules and clinical features, and to identify hub genes in the module. The hub gene function was verified by an external database.

resultsTwenty-four co-expression modules were constructed using WGCNA. A dark red co-expression module was found to be significantly associated with disease recurrence. Functional enrichment analysis and GEPIA and ONCOMINE database analyses demonstrated that hub genes CDK4, CCT2, and MGAT1 may play an important role in LMS recurrence.

conclusionOur study constructed an LMS co-expressing gene module and identified prognostic markers for LMS recurrence detection and treatment.
