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

Interferon-β (IFN-β) is one of the major drugs for multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment. The purpose of this study was to characterize the transcriptional effects induced by intramuscular IFN-β-1a therapy in patients with relapsing-remitting form of MS. By using Affymetrix DNA microarrays, we obtained genome-wide expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 24 MS patients within the first 4 weeks of IFN-β administration. We identified 121 genes that were significantly up- or downregulated compared with baseline, with stronger changed expression at 1 week after start of therapy. Eleven transcription factor-binding sites (TFBS) are overrepresented in the regulatory regions of these genes, including those of IFN regulatory factors and NF-κB. We then applied TFBS-integrating least angle regression, a novel integrative algorithm for deriving gene regulatory networks from gene expression data and TFBS information, to reconstruct the underlying network of molecular interactions. An NF-κB-centered sub-network of genes was highly expressed in patients with IFN-β-related side effects. Expression alterations were confirmed by real-time PCR and literature mining was applied to evaluate network inference accuracy.
