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

backgroundWe identified the hub genes and pathways dysregulated in acute myeloid leukemia and the potential molecular mechanisms involved.

methodsWe downloaded the GSE15061 gene expression dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and used weighted gene co-expression network analysis to identify hub genes. Differential expression of the genes was evaluated using the limma package in R software. Subsequently, we built a protein-protein interaction network followed by functional enrichment analysis. Then, the prognostic significance of gene expression was explored in terms of overall survival. Finally, transcription factor-mRNA (ribonucleic acid) and microRNA-mRNA interaction analysis was also explored.

resultsWe identified 100 differentially expressed hub genes. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that the genes were principally involved in immune system regulation, host defense, and negative regulation of apoptosis and myeloid cell differentiation. We identified 4 hub genes, the expression of which was significantly correlated with overall survival. Finally, 26 key regulators for hub genes and 38 microRNA-mRNA interactions were identified.

conclusionWe performed a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of hub genes potentially involved in acute myeloid leukemia development. Further molecular biological experiments are required to confirm the roles played by these genes.
