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

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is life-threatening, its natural course is progressively sac expansion and rupture. Elegant studies have been conducted to investigate the molecular markers associated with AAA growth and expansion, this topic however, still needs to be further elucidated. This study aimed to identify potential genes for AAA growth and expansion based on comprehensive bioinformatics approaches. Firstly, 29 up-regulated genes were identified through DEGs analysis between large AAA and small AAA in GSE57691. Secondly, signed WGCNA analysis was conducted based on GSE57691 and the green module was found to exhibit the topmost correlation with large AAA as well as AAA, 133 WGCNA hub genes were further identified. Merged gene set including 29 up-regulated DEGs and 858 green module genes was subjected to constructing a PPI network where 195 PPI hub genes were identified. Subsequently, 4 crucial genes including POU2AF1, FCRLA, CD79B, HLA-DOB were recognized by Venn plot. In addition, by using GSE7084 and GSE98278 for verification, POU2AF1 showed potential diagnostic value between AAA and normal groups, and exhibited a significant higher expression level in large AAA samples compared with small AAA samples. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry results indicated up-regulation of POU2AF1 in large AAA samples than small AAA samples, which implies POU2AF1 may be a key regulator in AAA enlargement and growth. In summary, this study indicates that POU2AF1 has great predictive value for the expansion of AAA, and may contribute to the further exploration of pathogenesis and progression of AAA.
