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

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between protein-coding RNA (messenger RNA, mRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) expressed in vascular endothelial cells (VECs) in keloids by reanalyzing Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) microarray chip data. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe GSE121618 database and clinical information of these samples were downloaded and reanalyzed by the R language package. Expression differences in mRNA and lncRNA between keloids and normal skin were calculated. GO/KEGG enrichment analysis was conducted to determine the function of these genes, and an interaction network of lncRNAs-mRNAs was constructed. Magnetic Sorting of VECs and qRT-PCR were used to verify these bioinformatic results.

resultsThe expression of three hundred and five mRNAs in the keloid group was significantly different from that in the normal group, and 98 lncRNAs were different, 21 of which were upregulated and 118 of which were downregulated. The hub relationship between the upregulated lncRNA‒mRNA interaction was lncRNA LINC01546-RASAL3/COL13A1, while the downregulated hub was lncRNA LOC101929787-PRKAA2/KRT71/SSTR1. qPCR verification result showed no obvious statistical differences.

conclusionsThrough the in-depth mining of keloid microarray data using bioinformatic methods, we speculated that VECs can affect the development and progression of keloids by epigenomic regulation via lncRNA‒mRNA interactions.
