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

The aging thyroid is associated with a plethora of morphological and functional changes. Limited studies have addressed the gene expression signature in the aging thyroid, except for sporadic reports using data from postmortem samples in the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project. In this investigation, we analyzed the RNA sequencing data of 58 samples of normal-appearing counterpart thyroid tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Aging-correlated genes were identified by determining the Spearman rank-order correlation between patient age and gene expression level. Additionally, we performed gene set enrichment analysis and conducted a weighted correlation network analysis. The results were compared with those analyzed using the GTEx data. The over-represented protein class of aging-correlated genes is mainly metabolite interconversion enzymes. Our analyses identified alterations in immune and inflammatory responses, mitochondrial functions, cytoskeletal proteins, as well as amino acid and cytochrome P450 metabolism. There was no significant association between thyroid differentiation and age. Our findings may shed molecular light on thyroid disorders in the geriatric population.
