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

backgroundAtherosclerosis is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease with a high mortality worldwide. Understanding the atherosclerosis pathogenesis and identification of efficient diagnostic signatures remain major problems of modern medicine. This study aims to screen the potential diagnostic genes for atherosclerosis.

methodsWe downloaded the gene chip data of 135 peripheral blood samples, including 57 samples with atherosclerosis and 78 healthy subjects from GEO database (Accession Number: GSE20129). The weighted gene co-expression network analysis was applied to identify atherosclerosis-related genes. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted by using the clusterProfiler R package. The interaction pairs of proteins encoded by atherosclerosis-related genes were screened using STRING database, and the interaction network was further optimized with the cytoHubba plug-in of Cytoscape software.

resultsThe logistic regression diagnostic model was constructed to predict normal and atherosclerosis samples. A gene module which included 532 genes related to the occurrence of atherosclerosis were screened. Functional enrichment analysis basing on the 532 genes identified 235 significantly enriched GO terms and 44 significantly enriched KEGG pathways. The top 50 hub genes of the protein-protein interaction network were identified. The final logistic regression diagnostic model was established by the optimal 10 key genes, which could distinguish atherosclerosis samples from normal samples.

conclusionsA predictive model based on 10 potential atherosclerosis-related genes was obtained, which should shed light on the diagnostic research of atherosclerosis.
