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

backgroundLeft ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a rare myocardial developmental anomaly characterized by incomplete myocardial compact layer development in the left ventricular wall, resulting in a multilayered trabeculated myocardium.

methodsThe datasets GSE71912 and GSE113251 of left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database generated from GPL13912 and GPL11002 platforms. Batch normalization was performed, followed by differentially expressed genes (DEGs), principal component analysis (PCA), functional enrichment analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), construction and analysis of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. Heatmaps of gene expression levels were generated. Correlation with core genes was explored through comparative toxicogenomics database (CTD) analysis.

resultsA total of 500 DEGs were identified. WGCNA with a soft threshold power of 16 generated three modules. Hierarchical clustering dendrograms were constructed for all genes, identifying 4 core genes (Col1a2, Postn, Timp1, Dcn). These core genes were validated through enrichment analysis using Metascape. Heatmaps revealed high expression of core genes (Col1a2, Postn, Timp1, Dcn) in left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy tissue samples. CTD analysis linked core genes (Col1a2, Postn, Timp1, Dcn) with conditions such as left ventricular hypertrophy, arrhythmias, heart diseases, heart failure, myocardial ischemia, vascular diseases, and inflammation.

conclusionCol1a2 and Postn are significantly upregulated in left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy, suggesting their potential role as molecular targets.
