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

abstractPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common female infertility, which may be caused by excessive androgen, but its mechanism remains unknown. Transsexuals are women who take androgen drugs for a long time, and gradually have male signs. Their ovaries may have received high concentrations of androgen, which leads to the failure of ovarian reproductive function. Therefore, we searched the relevant data of PCOS and transsexuals in gene expression omnibus database, used limma package to identify the most similarly genes, and then analyzed the possible mechanism of PCOS through gene ontology (GO) and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Then, the protein-protein interaction network was constructed by searching the String database, and the top 5 hub genes were identified by the cytohubba plug-in of Cytoscape. Finally, ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 E1 (UBE2E1), ubiquitin C (UBC), transcription elongation factor B subunit 1 (TCEB1), ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 N (UBE2N), and ring finger protein 7 (RNF7) genes were identified as the most similarly expressed genes between PCOS and Transsexuals. They may cause the ubiquitination of androgen receptor and eventually lead to sinus follicular growth arrest. In conclusion, 5 Central genes were identified in PCOS and transsexuals. These genes can be used as targets for early diagnosis or treatment of PCOS.
