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

backgroundModulation of tendon healing remains a challenge because of our limited understanding of the tendon repair process. Therefore, we performed the present study to provide a global perspective of the gene expression profiles of tendons after injury and identify the molecular signals driving the tendon repair process.

resultsThe gene expression profiles of flexor digitorum profundus tendons in a chicken model were assayed on day 3, weeks 1, 2, 4, and 6 after injury using the Affymetrix microarray system. Principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis of the differentially expressed genes showed three distinct clusters corresponding to different phases of the tendon healing period. Gene ontology (GO) analysis identified regulation of cell proliferation and cell adhesion as the most enriched biological processes. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed that the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction pathways were the most impacted. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) demonstrated four distinct patterns of gene expressions during tendon healing. Cell adhesion and ECM activities were mainly associated with genes with drastic increase in expression 6 weeks after injury. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed to identify the key signaling pathways and hub genes involved.

conclusionsThe comprehensive analysis of the biological functions and interactions of the genes differentially expressed during tendon healing provides a valuable resource to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying tendon healing and to predict regulatory targets for the genetic engineering of tendon repair.
