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: Intimal hyperplasia is a common pathological process of restenosis following angioplasty, atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, vein graft stenosis, and other proliferative diseases. This study aims to screen for potential novel gene targets and mechanisms related to vascular intimal hyperplasia through an integrated microarray analysis of the Gene Expression Omnibus Database (GEO) database. Material and Methods: The gene expression profile of the GSE56143 dataset was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Functional enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, and the transcription factor (TF)-target gene regulatory network were used to reveal the biological functions of differential genes (DEGs). Furthermore, the expression levels of the top 10 key DEGs were verified at the mRNA and protein level in the carotid artery 7 days after ligation. Results: A total of 373 DEGs (199 upregulated DEGs and 174 downregulated DEGs) were screened. These DEGs were significantly enriched in biological processes, including immune system process, cell adhesion, and several pathways, which were mainly associated with cell adhesion molecules and the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. The top 10 key DEGs (Ptprc, Fn1, Tyrobp, Emr1, Itgb2, Itgax, CD44, Ctss, Ly86, and Aif1) acted as key genes in the PPI network. The verification of these key DEGs at the mRNA and protein levels was consistent with the results of the above-mentioned bioinformatics analysis. Conclusion: The present study identified key genes and pathways involved in intimal hyperplasia induced by carotid artery ligation. These results improved our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the development of intimal hyperplasia and provided candidate targets.
