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 muscle in the organism has the function of regulating metabolism. Long-term muscle inactivity or the occurrence of chronic inflammatory diseases are easy to induce muscle atrophy. Bevacizumab is an antiangiogenic drug that prevents the formation of neovascularization by inhibiting the activation of VEGF signaling pathway. It is used in the first-line treatment of many cancers in clinic. Studies have shown that the use of bevacizumab in the treatment of tumors can cause muscle mass loss and may induce muscle atrophy. Based on bioinformatics analysis, this study sought the relationship and influence mechanism between bevacizumab and muscle atrophy. The differences of gene and sample expression between bevacizumab treated group and control group were studied by RNA sequencing. WGCNA is used to find gene modules related to bevacizumab administration and explore biological functions through metascape. Differential analysis was used to analyze the difference of gene expression between the administration group and the control group in different muscle tissues. The key genes timp4 and CDKN1A were obtained through Venn diagram, and then GSEA was used to explore their biological functions in RNA sequencing data and geo chip data. This study studied the role of bevacizumab in muscle through the above methods, preliminarily determined that timp4 and CDKN1A may be related to muscle atrophy, and further explored their functional mechanism in bevacizumab myotoxicity.
