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

backgroundIschemic stroke is a disease in which cerebral blood flow is blocked due to various reasons, leading to ischemia, hypoxia, softening, and even necrosis of brain tissues. The level of cortisol is related to the occurrence and progression of ischemic stroke. However, the mechanism governing their interrelationship is still unclear. The main objective of this study was to identify and understand the molecular mechanism between cortisol and IS.

methodsThe common cortisol-related biological processes were screened by mutual verification of two data sets and the cortisol-related hub biomarkers were identified. Modular analysis of protein interaction networks was performed, and the differential pathway analysis of individual genes was conducted by GSVA and GSEA. Drug and transcription factor regulatory networks of hub genes were excavated, and the diagnostic potential of hub genes was analyzed followed by the construction of a diagnostic model.

resultsBy screening the two data sets by GSVA, three biological processes with common differences were obtained. After variation analysis, four cortisol-related hub biomarkers (CYP1B1, CDKN2B, MEN1, and USP8) were selected. Through the modular analysis of the protein-protein interaction network and double verification of GSVA and GSEA, a series of potential molecular mechanisms of hub genes were discovered followed by a series of drug regulatory networks and transcription factor regulatory networks. The hub biomarkers were found to have a high diagnostic value by ROC; thus, a diagnostic model with high diagnostic efficiency was constructed. The diagnostic value was mutually confirmed in the two data sets.

conclusionFour cortisol-related hub biomarkers are identified in this study, which provides new ideas for the key changes of cortisol during the occurrence of IS.
