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

backgroundTo undertake a bioinformatics analysis to identify abnormally expressed genes [also referred to as differentially expressed genes (DEGs)] and their functions in esophageal carcinoma (ESCA).

methodsDEGs (i.e., GSE100942, GSE17351, GSE26886, and GSE77861) were obtained from a gene expression omnibus database. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed using online tools from the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. A protein-protein interaction network was then constructed based on the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes website. Cytoscape software was used to identify the top 20 DEGs located in the central region of the network. For the overall survival analysis, a Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted of the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis website, and collagen (
