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 investigate the differences in gene expression and functional enrichment associated with anaplasia and laterality in retinoblastoma patients. Two datasets were selected from the GEO database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information of the US, including chip data of gene expression in tumor tissue from 36 patients with retinoblastoma. After grouping by anaplasia or laterality, the data were reanalyzed with Student's t-test in R and Bioconductor software. The functional enrichment of genes significantly related to anaplasia and laterality was explored via GSEA. The functions of synapse assembly and synaptic signaling were enhanced in clinical patients with severe anaplasia, while the function of photoreceptors was reduced; abnormal conjugate eye movement and lipid metabolic processes were upregulated in unilateral patients. Gene expression may be different in retinoblastoma patients with different anaplasias and lateralities. The consequential difference in gene functional pathways could be associated with clinical symptoms.
