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

backgroundRecent evidences indicated that shear stress is critical in orchestrating gene expression in cardiovascular disease. It is necessary to identify the mechanism of shear stress influencing gene expression in physiology and pathophysiology conditions. This paper aimed to identify candidate hub genes and its transcription factors with bioinformatics.

methodsWe analyzed microarray expression profile of GSE16706 to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in low shear stress (1 dyne/cm

results652 DEGs, including 333 up-regulated and 319 down-regulated DEGs, were screen out. Functional enrichment analysis indicated enrichment items mainly included cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction and cell cycle. Five hub genes (CDC20, CCNA2, KIF11, KIF2C and PLK1) and one significant module (score = 17.39) were identified through protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis. Key transcriptional factor FOXC1 displayed close interaction with all the hub genes via gene-transcriptional factor network. Single-gene GSEA analysis indicated that CDC20 was linked to the G2M_CHECKPOINT pathway and cell cycle pathway.

conclusionsBy using integrated bioinformatic analysis, a new transcriptional factor and hub-genes network related to HUVECs treated with low shear stress were identified. The new regulation mechanism we discovered may be a promising potential therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease.
