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

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a group of malignancies emerging in the biliary tree and is associated with a poor patient prognosis. Although the anatomical location is the only worldwide accepted classification basis, it still has bias. The current study integrates the whole-genome expression data from several big cohorts in the literature, to screen and provide a comprehensive bioinformatic analysis, in order to better classify molecular subtypes and explore an underlying cluster mechanism related to anatomy and geographical regions. Differentially expressed protein-coding genes (DEGs) were identified for CCA as well as subtypes. Biological function enrichment analysis-Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis-was applied and identified different DEGs enriched signaling pathways in CCA subtypes. A co-expression network was presented by Weighted gene co-expression network analysis package and modules related to specific phenotypes were identified. Combined with DEGs, hub genes in the given module were demonstrated through protein-protein interaction network analysis. Finally, DEGs which significantly related to patient overall survival and disease-free survival time were selected, including ARHGAP21, SCP2, UBIAD1, TJP2, RAP1A and HDAC9.
