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

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB), one of the most common malignant extracranial solid tumors in children, is highly invasive and lethal with limited treatment efficacy. This study aimed to establish a prognostic model of advanced-stage NB. Methods: Differentially expressed genes were screened and validated using two training datasets and one validation dataset from the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments and Gene Expression Omnibus databases. Protein-protein interaction networks were developed using the MCode plug-in, and the top three key clusters were used to produce candidate genes. We performed gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), gene ontology analysis (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, immune cell infiltration, and drug sensitivity analysis to further understand the functions of these candidate genes. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to check their prognosis value. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), Western blot (WB), and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were employed to verify the mRNA and protein levels in clinical samples. Results: A total of 699 differentially expressed genes were identified, including 294 upregulated and 405 downregulated genes. Conclusion: The model containing
