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

backgroundPrimary colorectal cancer (PCRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in clinic, and is characterized by high heterogeneity occurring between tumors and intracellularly. Therefore, this study aimed to explore potential gene targets for the diagnosis and treatment of PCRC via bioinformatic technology.

methodsGene Expression Omnibus (GEO) was used to download the data used in this study. Differently expressed genes (DEGs) were identified with GEO2R, and the gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was implemented for enrichment analysis. Then, the researchers constructed a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, a significant module, and a hub genes network.

resultsThe GSE81558 dataset was downloaded, and a total of 97 DEGs were found. There were 23 up-regulated DEGs and 74 down-regulated DEGs in the PCRC samples, compared with the control group. The PPI network included a total of 42 nodes and 63 edges. One module network consisted of 11 nodes and 25 edges. Another module network consisted of 4 nodes and 6 edges. The hub genes network was created by cytoHubba using GCG, GUCA2B, CLCA4, ZG16, TMIGD1, GUCA2A, CHGA, PYY, SST, and MS4A12.

conclusionsTen hub genes were found from the genomic samples of patients with PCRC and normal controls by bioinformatics analysis. The hub genes might provide novel ideas and evidence for the diagnosis and targeted therapy of PCRC.
