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

objectivesThis study aimed to identify specific diagnostic as well as predictive targets of primary myelofibrosis (PMF).

methodsThe gene expression profiles of GSE26049 were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) dataset, WGCNA was constructed to identify the most related module of PMF. Subsequently, Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and Protein-Protein interaction (PPI) network were conducted to fully understand the detailed information of the interested green module. Machine learning, Principal component analysis (PCA), and expression pattern analysis including immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence of genes and proteins were performed to validate the reliability of these hub genes.

resultsGreen module was strongly correlated with PMF disease after WGCNA analysis. 20 genes in green module were identified as hub genes responsible for the progression of PMF. GO, KEGG revealed that these hub genes were primarily enriched in erythrocyte differentiation, transcription factor binding, hemoglobin complex, transcription factor complex and cell cycle, etc. Among them, EPB42, CALR, SLC4A1 and MPL had the most correlations with PMF. Machine learning, Principal component analysis (PCA), and expression pattern analysis proved the results in this study.

conclusionsEPB42, CALR, SLC4A1 and MPL were significantly highly expressed in PMF samples. These four genes may be considered as candidate prognostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for early stage of PMF. The effects are worth expected whether in the diagnosis at early stage or as therapeutic target.
