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

aimsTo investigate the candidate biomarkers and molecular mechanisms involved in the early phase of experimental diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).

methodsDiabetes in Sprague-Dawley rats was induced with streptozotocin (STZ) treatment, followed with neurological tests and histological examinations to assess the neuropathic symptoms of DPN. Microarray was performed on the sciatic nerve tissues from control rats and DPN rats at then6th week after diabetes induction, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between them were identified and applied for further bioinformatic analyses.

resultsExperimental DPN rats were successfully constructed, presenting significantly decreased withdrawal threshold and motor nerve conduction velocity, and typical histological changes in the sciatic nerve. 597 DEGs (186 up- and 411 downregulated) were identified in DPN rats. DEGs from the 3 most highly connected clusters in the protein-protein interaction network were enriched for biological processes or pathways such as "cell division," "cell cycle," "protein phosphorylation," "chemokine signaling pathway," "neuropeptide signaling pathway," "response to drug," "cellular response to insulin stimulus," "PPAR signaling pathway," and "glycerophospholipid metabolism." Thirteen genes were identified as the hub DEGs in the PPI network. Eleven transcriptional factors (TFs) targeting 9 of the 13 hub DEGs were predicted.

conclusionsThe present study identified a pool of candidate biomarkers such as
