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

Intracranial aneurysm (IA) can cause fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) after rupture, and identifying patients with unruptured IAs is essential for reducing SAH fatalities. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) may be vital to IA progression. Here, identified key EMT-related genes in aneurysms and their pathogenic mechanisms via bioinformatic analysis. The GSE13353, GSE75436, and GSE54083 datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus were analyzed with limma to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among unruptured aneurysms, ruptured aneurysms, and healthy samples. The results revealed that three EMT-related DEGs (ADIPOQ, WNT11, and CCL21) were shared among all groups. Coexpression modules and hub genes were identified via weighted gene co-expression network analysis, revealing two significant modules (red and green) and 14 EMT-related genes. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses suggested that cytokine interactions were closely related. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that unruptured aneurysms were enriched for the terms "inflammatory response" and "vascular endothelial growth". Protein-protein interaction analysis identified seven key genes, which were evaluated with the GSE54083 dataset to determine their sensitivity and specificity. In the external validation set, we verified the differential expression of seven genes in unruptured aneurysms and normal samples. Together, these findings indicate that FN1, and SPARC may help distinguish normal patients from patients with asymptomatic IAs.
