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

backgroundThe effective evaluation of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is challenging due to a lack of accurate screening tools. Consequently, there is an urgent need to screen out effective biomarkers. Bioinformatics analysis on a substantial amount of transcriptomic data to screen biomolecules allows for the verification of histological samples, and can provide a new method for CCA biomolecule screening in diagnosis and prognosis.

methodsEdgeR model was used to analyze The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-extracted CCA data set, and to determine the differential expression of mRNAs. Based on this, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were used to perform functional and pathway enrichment analysis. Subsequently, a protein interaction network was also established to identify the key differential node genes. Then, the previously determined differential genes were analyzed to establish a link between these genes and clinical prognosis. Finally, we used tissue samples to realize our results via IHC, Western blot and qRT-PCR.

resultsA total of 5,561 differential mRNAs were screened, including 3,473 upregulated genes and 2,088 downregulated genes. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the upregulated genes had significantly enriched cell adhesion, concentrated chromosomal motility, and microtubule motility. Downregulated genes were significantly enriched in heterologous metabolism and exosomes. Furthermore, we found upregulated genes were significantly enriched in the cancer pathways and cell cycle. Downregulated genes were enriched in the metabolic pathways and biosynthesis of antibiotics. Ten hub genes were screened out through the protein interaction network; among these, the

conclusionsThe upregulated genes were significantly enriched in the biological processes of cell division, cell cycle, and related cell components.
