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

backgroundEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has a poor prognosis due to the lack of early disease symptoms. Using bioinformatics tools, this study aimed to discover differentially expressed nonprotein-coding RNAs and genes with potential prognostic relevance in ESCC.

methodsTwo microRNAs (miRNAs) and one circular RNA (circRNA) microarray datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differential expression of miRNAs (DEMs) and circRNAs (DECs) was, respectively, identified in ESCC tissue and compared to adjacent healthy tissue. Further analysis was performed using the miRNA microarray datasets, where miRTarBase was used to predict which messenger RNAs (mRNAs) was present. This was followed by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Gene Ontology (GO) analyses. Moreover, cytoHubba and UALCAN were used to predict the important nodes and perform patient survival analysis, respectively. The miRNA-associated circRNAs were predicted using the ENCORI website. The interaction between DECs and the predicted circRNAs was also determined. A circRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis was constructed.

conclusionThis study provides support for the possible mechanisms of disease progression in ESCC.
