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

Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is a multifactorial disease that presents a poor prognosis due to its rapid progression towards metastasis. This study focused on the identification of prognostic differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between primary and metastatic SKCM. DEGs were obtained using three chip data sets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The protein-protein interaction network was described by STRING and Cytoscape. Kaplan-Meier curves were implemented to evaluate survival benefits within distinct groups. A total of 258 DEGs were distinguished as possible candidate biomarkers. Besides, survival curves indicated that DSG3, DSC3, PKP1, EVPL, IVL, FLG, SPRR1A and SPRR1B were of significant value to predict the metastatic transformation of melanoma. To further validate our hypotheses, functional enrichment and significant pathways of the hub genes were performed to indicate that the most involved considerable path. In summary, this study identified substantial DEGs participating in melanoma metastasis. DGS3, DSC3, PKP1, EVPL, IVL, FLG, SPRR1A and SPRR1B may be considered as new biomarkers in the therapeutics of metastatic melanoma, which might help us predict the potential metastatic capability of SKCM patients, thus provide earlier precautionary treatments. However, further experiments are still required to support the specific mechanisms of these hub genes.
