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

backgroundBreast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and a major cause of cancer-related deaths in women globally. Identification of novel prognostic and pathogenesis biomarkers play a pivotal role in the management of the disease.

methodsThree data sets from the GEO database were used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in breast cancer. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses were performed to elucidate the functional roles of the DEGs. Besides, we investigated the translational and protein expression levels and survival data of the DEGs in patients with breast cancer from the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), Oncomine, Human Protein Atlas, and Kaplan Meier plotter tool databases. The corresponding change in the expression level of microRNAs in the DEGs was also predicted using miRWalk and TargetScan, and the expression profiles were analyzed using OncomiR. Finally, the expression of novel DEGs were validated in Chinese breast cancer tissues by RT-qPCR.

resultsA total of 46 DEGs were identified, and GO analysis revealed that these genes were mainly associated with biological processes involved in fatty acid, lipid localization, and regulation of lipid metabolism. Two novel biomarkers,
