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

Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The clinical and epidemiological analysis reported the association between SARS-CoV-2 and neurological diseases. Among neurological diseases, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has developed as a crucial comorbidity of SARS-CoV-2. This study aimed to understand the common transcriptional signatures between SARS-CoV-2 and AD. Materials and methods: System biology approaches were used to compare the datasets of AD and COVID-19 to identify the genetic association. For this, we have integrated three human whole transcriptomic datasets for COVID-19 and five microarray datasets for AD. We have identified differentially expressed genes for all the datasets and constructed a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Hub genes were identified from the PPI network, and hub genes-associated regulatory molecules (transcription factors and miRNAs) were identified for further validation. Results: A total of 9,500 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified for AD and 7,000 DEGs for COVID-19. Gene ontology analysis resulted in 37 molecular functions, 79 cellular components, and 129 biological processes were found to be commonly enriched in AD and COVID-19. We identified 26 hub genes which includes Conclusion: Our results suggest that the identified hub genes could be diagnostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic drug targets for COVID-19 patients with AD comorbidity.
