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

Retinoblastoma is a common intraocular malignant tumor in children. However, the molecular and genetic mechanisms of retinoblastoma remain unclear. The gene expression dataset GSE110811 was retrieved from Gene Expression Omnibus. After preprocessing, coexpression modules were constructed by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), and modules associated with clinical traits were identified. In addition, functional enrichment analysis was performed for genes in the indicated modules, and protein‑protein interaction (PPI) networks and subnetworks were constructed based on these genes. Eight coexpression modules were constructed through WGCNA. Of these, the yellow module had the highest association with severity and age (r=0.82 and P=3e‑07; r=0.72 and P=3e‑05). The turquoise module had the highest association with months (r=‑0.63 and P=5e‑04). The genes in the two modules participate in multiple pathways of retinoblastoma, and by combining the PPI network and subnetworks; 10 hub genes were identified in the two modules. The present study identified coexpression modules and hub genes associated with clinical traits of retinoblastoma, providing novel insight into retinoblastoma progression.
