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

backgroundLarge cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the lung is a rare neuroendocrine neoplasm. Previous studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are widely involved in tumor regulation through targeting critical genes. However, it is unclear which miRNAs play vital roles in the pathogenesis of LCNEC, and how they interact with transcription factors (TFs) to regulate cancer-related genes.

methodsTo determine the novel TF-miRNA-target gene feed-forward loop (FFL) model of LCNEC, we integrated multi-omics data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Transcriptional Regulatory Relationships Unraveled by Sentence-Based Text Mining (TRRUST), Transcriptional Regulatory Element Database (TRED), and The experimentally validated microRNA-target interactions database (miRTarBase database). First, expression profile datasets for mRNAs (GSE1037) and miRNAs (GSE19945) were downloaded from the GEO database. Overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were identified through integrative analysis. The target genes of the FFL were obtained from the miRTarBase database, and the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analyses were performed on the target genes. Then, we screened for key miRNAs in the FFL and performed gene regulatory network analysis based on key miRNAs. Finally, the TF-miRNA-target gene FFLs were constructed by the hypergeometric test.

resultsA total of 343 DEGs and 60 DEMs were identified in LCNEC tissues compared to normal tissues, including 210 down-regulated and 133 up-regulated genes, and 29 down-regulated and 31 up-regulated miRNAs. Finally, the regulatory network of TF-miRNA-target gene was established. The key regulatory network modules included ETS1-miR195-CD36, TAOK1-miR7-1-3P-GRIA1, E2F3-miR195-CD36, and TEAD1-miR30A-CTHRC1.

conclusionsWe constructed the TF-miRNA-target gene regulatory network, which is helpful for understanding the complex LCNEC regulatory mechanisms.
