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

'Tripartite network' (TN) and 'combined gene network' (CGN) were constructed and their hub-bottleneck and driver nodes (44 genes) were evaluated as 'target genes' (TG) to identify 21 'candidate genes' (CG) and their relationship with neurological manifestations of COVID-19. TN was developed using neurological symptoms of COVID-19 found in literature. Under query genes (TG of TN), co-expressed genes were identified using pair-wise mutual information to genes available in RNA-Seq autopsy data of frontal cortex of COVID-19 victims. CGN was constructed with genes selected from TN and co-expressed in COVID-19. TG and their connecting genes of respective networks underwent functional analyses through findings of their enrichment terms and pair-wise 'semantic similarity scores' (SSS). A new integrated 'weighted harmonic mean score' was formulated assimilating values of SSS and STRING-based 'combined score' of the selected TG-pairs, which provided CG-pairs with properties of CGs as co-expressed and 'indispensable nodes' in CGN. Finally, six pairs sharing seven 'prevalent CGs' (ADAM10, ADAM17, AKT1, CTNNB1, ESR1, PIK3CA, FGFR1) showed linkages with the phenotypes (a) directly under neurodegeneration, neurodevelopmental diseases, tumour/cancer and cellular signalling, and (b) indirectly through other CGs under behavioural/cognitive and motor dysfunctions. The pathophysiology of 'prevalent CGs' has been discussed to interpret neurological phenotypes of COVID-19.
