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

backgroundNasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a highly aggressive neoplasm mainly distributed in the eastern and southeastern parts of Asia. NPC has a poor prognosis among head and neck cancers, and molecular-targeted therapies showed limited clinical efficacy.

methodsWe reviewed publications in the PubMed database and extracted genes associated with NPC. The online tool WebGestalt was used to perform Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis for these genes. Next, the two parameters, Jaccard Coefficient (JC) and Overlap Coefficient (OC), were used to analyze the crosstalk of each pair of selected pathways. The new NPC-related genes were predicted by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network combined with hub genes extraction. Western blotting, qRT-PCR, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to detect the expression of candidate genes in NPC cells and tissues, and cellular function assays were used to explore the effects of genes on NPC cells.

resultsA total of 552 genes were identified and used to build an NPC-related gene set (NPCgset). Pathways enriched in KEGG pathway analysis were further used for crosstalk analysis and were grouped into two modules: one was related to the carcinogenesis process, and the other was correlated with the immune response. Eight genes from the NPCgset were selected to build a PPI network, and two hub genes

conclusionsOur study may help to explore the biological processes underlying NPCgset and suggests that RRAS may act as a tumor suppressor gene in NPC.
