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

purposeThe conventional interventions of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) patients are mainly through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy; however, it is hardly to improve survival rate. We aimed to investigate the differential expressed genes (DEGs) between ATC and normal thyroid gland through bioinformatics analysis of the microarray datasets and find new potential therapeutic targets for ATC.

methodsMicroarray datasets GSE9115, GSE29265, GSE33630, GSE53072, and GSE65144 were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Compared with the normal tissue, GEO2R was conducted to screen the DEGs in each chip under the condition of |log FC| > l, adjusted P-values (adj. P) < 0.05. The Retrieval of Interacting Genes (STRING) database was used to calculate PPI networks of DEGs with a combined score >0.4 as the cut-off criteria. The hub genes in the PPI network were visualized and selected according to screening conditions in Cytoscape software. In addition, the novel genes in ATC were screened for survival analysis using Kaplan-Meier plotter from those hub genes and validated by RT-qPCR.

resultsA total of 284 overlapping DEGs were obtained, including 121 upregulated and 161 downregulated DEGs. A total of 232 DEGs were selected by STRING database. The 50 hub genes in the PPI network were chosen according to three screening conditions. In addition, the Kaplan-Meier plotter database confirmed that high expressions of
