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

backgroundOpportunistic Candida species causes severe infections when the human immune system is weakened, leading to high mortality.

methodsIn our study, bioinformatics analysis was used to study the high-throughput sequencing data of samples infected with four kinds of Candida species. And the hub genes were obtained by statistical analysis.

resultsA total of 547, 422, 415 and 405 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis and Candida tropicalis groups were obtained, respectively. A total of 216 DEGs were obtained after taking intersections of DEGs from the four groups. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was established using these 216 genes. The top 10 hub genes (FOSB, EGR1, JUNB, ATF3, EGR2, NR4A1, NR4A2, DUSP1, BTG2, and EGR3) were acquired through calculation by the cytoHubba plug-in in Cytoscape software. Validated by the sequencing data of peripheral blood, JUNB, ATF3 and EGR2 genes were  significant statistical significance.

conclusionsIn conclusion, our study demonstrated the potential pathogenic genes in Candida species and their underlying mechanisms by bioinformatic analysis methods. Further, after statistical validation, JUNB, ATF3 and EGR2 genes were attained, which may be used as potential biomarkers with Candida species infection.
