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

The accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) results in the condition called "ER stress," which induces the unfolded protein response (UPR), a complex cellular process that includes changes in expression of many genes. Failure to restore homeostasis in the ER is associated with human diseases. To identify the underlying changes in gene expression in response to ER stress, we induced ER stress in human B cells and then measured gene expression at ten time points. We followed up those results by studying cells from 60 unrelated people. We rediscovered genes that were known to play a role in the ER-stress response and uncovered several thousand genes that are not known to be involved. Two of these are VLDLR and INHBE, which showed significant increase in expression after ER stress in B cells and in primary fibroblasts. To study the links between UPR and disease susceptibility, we identified ER-stress-responsive genes that are associated with human diseases and assessed individual differences in the ER-stress response. Many of the UPR genes are associated with Mendelian disorders, such as Wolfram syndrome, and complex diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and diabetes. Data from two independent samples showed extensive individual variability in ER-stress response. Additional analyses with monozygotic twins revealed significant correlations within twin pairs in their responses to ER stress, thus showing evidence for heritable variation among individuals. These results have implications for basic understanding of ER function and its role in disease susceptibility.
