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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key gene regulators in the pathogenesis and development of various cancers including B lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL). In this pilot study, we used RNA-Seq transcriptomic data for identifying novel lncRNA-mRNA cooperative pairs involved in childhood B-ALL pathogenesis. We conceived a bioinformatic pipeline based on unsupervised PCA feature extraction approach and stringent statistical criteria to extract potential childhood B-ALL lncRNA signatures. We then constructed a co-expression network of the aberrantly expressed lncRNAs (30) and protein-coding genes (754). We cross-validated our in-silico findings on an independent dataset and assessed the expression levels of the most differentially expressed lncRNAs and their co-expressed mRNAs through ex vivo experiments. Using the guilt-by-association approach, we predicted lncRNA functions based on their perfectly co-expressed mRNAs (Spearman's correlation) that resulted closely disease-associated. We shed light on 24 key lncRNAs and their co-expressed mRNAs which may play an important role in B-ALL pathogenesis. Our results may be of clinical utility for diagnostic and/or prognostic purposes in paediatric B-ALL management.
