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

purposeMantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is incurable with standard therapies. The use of gene expression analysis has been of interest, recently, to detect biomarkers for cancer. There is a great need for systemic coexpression network analysis of MCL and this study aims to establish a gene coexpression network to forecast key genes related to the pathogenesis and prognosis of MCL.

methodsThe microarray dataset GSE93291 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. We systematically identified coexpression modules using the weighted gene coexpression network analysis method (WGCNA). Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analysis were performed on the modules deemed important. The protein-protein interaction networks were constructed and visualized using Cytoscape software on the basis of the STRING website; the hub genes in the top weighted network were identified. Survival data were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and were compared using the log-rank test.

resultsSeven coexpression modules consisting of different genes were applied to 5,000 genes in the 121 human MCL samples using WGCNA software. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis identified the blue module as one of the most important modules; the most critical pathways identified were the ribosome, oxidative phosphorylation and proteasome pathways. The hub genes in the top weighted network were regarded as real hub genes (IL2RB, CD3D, RPL26L1, POLR2K, KIF11, CDC20, CCNB1, CCNA2, PUF60, SNRNP70, AKT1 and PRPF40A). Survival analysis revealed that seven genes (KIF11, CDC20, CCNB1, CCNA2, PRPF40A, CD3D and PUF60) were associated with overall survival time (

conclusionsThe blue module may play a vital role in the pathogenesis of MCL. Five real hub genes (KIF11, CDC20, CCNB1, CCNA2 and PUF60) were identified as potential prognostic biomarkers as well as therapeutic targets with clinical utility for MCL.
