Gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in primary biliary cirrhosis.
Article in Clinical and experimental medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Previous studies on gene expression profiles in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) have exclusively focused on liver tissue or intrahepatic cells. Since the pathological process is systemic, other complementary studies in blood cells seemed to be reasonable. In this research, we try to explore differentially expressed genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of PBC patients. Nine PBC patients and 9 healthy controls were recruited as Cohort 1 for a microarray study of screening. Total RNA of PBMCs from each individual was isolated and screened by oligonucleotide microarray (22 K). Then, differentially expressed genes were categorized into signaling pathways. Expression levels of three important genes, tyrosine kinase binding protein (TYROBP), C–C motif chemokine 5 (CCL5) and cathepsin L (CTSL) were confirmed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in a second Cohort 2 (30 PBC patients and 20 healthy controls). Results show that sixty-five genes differentially expressed in PBC were identified, 20 of which were up-regulated and 45 of which were down-regulated. Twenty-seven signaling pathways were identified. TYROBP and CCL5 were proved to be down-regulated in PBC, and CTSL was proved to be up-regulated (p < 0.05) in PBC, which were all consistent with the screening study. In conclusions, the analysis of gene expression in PBMCs of PBC and the comparison of gene profiles between PBMCs and the liver may provide new clues to the pathogenesis of the disease.
