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

Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children. Under various treatments, some patients still have a poor prognosis. Hence, it is necessary to find new valid targets for NB therapy. In this study, a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between NB and control cells, and to select hub genes associated with NB. GSE66586 and GSE78061 datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and DEGs were selected. Then, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were applied to the selected DEGs. The STRING database and Cytoscape software were used to construct protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and perform modular analysis of the DEGs. The R2 database was used for prognostic analysis. We identified a total of 238 DEGs from two microarray databases. GO enrichment analysis shows that these DEGs are mainly concentrated in the regulation of cell growth, cell migration, cell fate determination, and cell maturation. KEGG pathway analysis showed that these DEGs are mainly involved in focal adhesion, the TNF signaling pathway, cancer-related pathways, and signaling pathways regulating stem cell pluripotency. We identified the 15 most closely related DEGs from the PPI network, and performed R2 database prognostic analysis to select five hub genes - CTGF, EDN1, GATA2, LOX, and SERPINE1. This study distinguished hub genes and related signaling pathways that can potentially serve as diagnostic indicators and therapeutic biomarkers for NB, thereby improving understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in NB.
