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

backgroundConsidered as one of the major reasons of sudden cardiac death, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common inherited cardiovascular disease. However, effective treatment for HCM is still lacking. Identification of hub gene may be a powerful tool for discovering potential therapeutic targets and candidate biomarkers.

methodsWe analysed three gene expression datasets for HCM from the Gene Expression Omnibus. Two of them were merged by "sva" package. The merged dataset was used for analysis while the other dataset was used for validation. Following this, a weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed, and the key module most related to HCM was identified. Based on the intramodular connectivity, we identified the potential hub genes. Then, a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to verify the diagnostic values of hub genes. Finally, we validated changes of hub genes, for genetic transcription and protein expression levels, in datasets of HCM patients and myocardium of transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice.

resultsIn the merged dataset, a total of 455 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from normal and hypertrophic myocardium. In WGCNA, the blue module was identified as the key module and the genes in this module showed a high positive correlation with HCM. Functional enrichment analysis of DEGs and key module revealed that the extracellular matrix, fibrosis, and neurohormone pathways played important roles in HCM. FRZB, COL14A1, CRISPLD1, LUM, and sFRP4 were identified as hub genes in the key module. These genes showed a good predictive value for HCM and were significantly up-regulated in HCM patients and TAC mice. We also found protein expression of LUM and sFRP4 increased in myocardium of TAC mice.

conclusionThis study revealed that five hub genes are involved in the occurrence and development of HCM, and they are potentially to be used as therapeutic targets and biomarkers for HCM.
