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

objectiveIschemic stroke (IS) is a major cause of severe disability. This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers closely related to IS diagnosis and treatment.

methodsProfiles of gene expression were obtained from datasets GSE16561, GSE22255, GSE112801 and GSE110993. Differentially expressed mRNAs between IS and controls were then subjected to weighted gene co-expression network analysis as well as multiscale embedded gene co-expression network analysis. The intersection of the two sets of module genes was subjected to analyses of functional enrichment and of microRNAs (miRNAs) regulation. Then, the area under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) was calculated to assess the ability of genes to discriminate IS patients from controls. IS diagnostic signatures were constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression.

resultsA total of 234 common co-expression network genes were found to be potentially associated with IS. Enrichment analysis found that these genes were mainly associated with inflammation and immune response. The aberrantly expressed miRNAs (hsa-miR-651-5p, hsa-miR-138-5p, hsa-miR-9-3p and hsa-miR-374a-3p) in IS had regulatory effects on IS-related genes and were involved in brain-related diseases. We used the criterion AUC > 0.7 to screen out 23 hub genes from IS-related genes in the GSE16561 and GSE22255 datasets. We obtained an 8-gene signature (ADCY4, DUSP1, ATP5F1, DCTN5, EIF3G, ELAVL1, EXOSC7 and PPIE) from the training set of GSE16561 dataset, which we confirmed in the validation set of GSE16561 dataset and in the GSE22255 dataset. The genes in this signature were highly accurate for diagnosing IS. In addition, the 8-gene signature significantly correlated with infiltration by immune cells.

conclusionThese findings provide new clues to molecular mechanisms and treatment targets in IS. The genes in the signature may be candidate markers and potential gene targets for treatments.
