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

objectiveProstate cancer (PCa) is a malignant neoplasm of the urinary system. This study aimed to use bioinformatics to screen for core genes and biological pathways related to PCa.

methodsThe GSE5957 gene expression profiles were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses of the DEGs were constructed by R language. Furthermore, protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were generated to predict core genes. The expression levels of core genes were examined in the Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) and Oncomine databases. The cBioPortal tool was used to study the co-expression and prognostic factors of the core genes. Finally, the core genes of signaling pathways were determined using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA).

resultsOverall, 874 DEGs were identified. Hierarchical clustering analysis revealed that these 24 core genes have significant association with carcinogenesis and development

conclusionsThis study identified the core genes and pathways in PCa and provides candidate targets for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.
