Review in Current rheumatology reports, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03765593 (Gene Expression of Interferon), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune and rheumatic disorder of the mucous membranes caused by a lack of proper exocrine secretions, with prominent sicca complaints. The molecular mechanisms of the pathogenesis are virtually unknown, although progress has been made with regard to chemokines, B cell activating factor, and apoptosis. A large number of autoantibodies have been reported in Sjögren's syndrome, some of which relate to impairment of glandular function. Sjögren's syndrome is a female-dominant disease with a late age of onset; most patients contract the disease at the age of 40 to 50 years. Lately, attention has been drawn to the effects of adrenopause in Sjögren's syndrome and on dehydroepiandrosterone and its intracrine metabolism in target tissues. This can influence the maintenance and remodeling of exocrine glands and may explain, in part, another important disease symptom--fatigue.
