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

To better understand the molecular mechanisms of intracranial aneurysm (IA) pathogenesis, we used gene coexpression networks to identify hub genes and functional pathways associated with IA onset. Two Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets encompassing intracranial aneurysm tissue samples and cerebral artery control samples were included. To discover functional pathways and potential biomarkers, weighted gene coexpression network analysis was employed. Next, single-gene gene set enrichment analysis was employed to investigate the putative biological roles of the chosen genes. We also used receiver operating characteristic analysis to confirm the diagnostic results. Finally, we used a rat model to confirm the hub genes in the module of interest. The module of interest, which was designated the green module and included 115 hub genes, was the key module that was most strongly and negatively associated with IA formation. According to gene set variation analysis results, 15 immune-related pathways were significantly activated in the IA group, whereas 7 metabolic pathways were suppressed. In two GEO datasets, SLC2A12 could distinguish IAs from control samples. Twenty-nine hub genes in the green module might be biomarkers for the occurrence of cerebral aneurysms. SLC2A12 expression was significantly downregulated in both human and rat IA tissue. In the present study, we identified 115 hub genes related to the pathogenesis of IA onset and deduced their potential roles in various molecular pathways; this new information may contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of IAs. By external validation, the SLC2A12 gene may play an important role. The molecular function of SLC2A12 in the process of IA occurrence can be further studied in a rat model.
