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

In this study, we modeled gene expression profile data from Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and healthy cases. At first, the GEO-GSE9476 dataset was processed, and a total of 341 genes were identified as differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in patients, and 599 DEGs in healthy individuals. Gene Ontology and pathway analysis on DEGs led to the identification of 5 Transcription Factors for patients and 3 for healthy cases. Analysis of the respective metabolic pathways revealed a common region in the metabolic pathway between AML and Tuberculosis (TB) that confirmed the validity of our procedure due to the consistency with similar reports. Upon PPI network analysis, Hub genes and three modules containing 41 up-regulated and down-regulated genes in AML patients were identified. Survival analysis on these genes results in reducing the number of identified effective genes into 3 upregulated (ITGAM, ITGAL and CD163) and 5 downregulated genes (MCM2, MCM3, RFC4, RFC5 and FEN1). Finally, drug sensitivity analysis was performed on these genes demonstrating complexity in drug-resistance due to the pattern of gene expression. This knowledge could potentially enable personalized treatment approaches based on individual patient responses due to the epigenetics and life style which affect gene expression pattern.
