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

backgroundSpinal cord injury (SCI) has an immediate and devastating impact on the control over various movements and sensations. However, no effective therapies for SCI currently exist.

methodsTo identify and analyze SCI subtypes, we obtained the expression profile data of the 1,057 genes (889 intersection genes) in GSE45550 using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and 14 co-expression gene modules were identified. Next, we filtered out the network degree top 10 (degree >80) genes, considered the final key SCI genes. A multifactor regulatory network (105 interaction pairs), consisting of messenger RNAs (mRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and transcription factors (TFs) was constructed. This network was involved in the co-expression of key genes. We selected the top 10 regulatory factors (degree >4) as core regulators in the multifactor regulatory network.

resultsThe results of functional enrichment analysis of the target gene expressing the core regulatory factor [1,059] showed that these target genes were enriched in pathways for human cytomegalovirus infection, chronic myeloid leukemia, and pancreatic cancer. Further, we used the key genes in the co-expression network to categorize the SCI samples in GSE45550. The expression levels of the top 6 genes (

conclusionsThese results may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of SCI.
