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

To evaluate pathogenetic mechanisms underlying disease development and progression in the autoimmune skin disease Pemphigus vulgaris (PV), we examined global peripheral blood gene expression in patients and healthy controls. Our goals were to: (1) assign blood gene expression signatures to patients and controls; (2) identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and investigate functional pathways associated with these signatures; and (3) evaluate the distribution of DEGs across the genome to identify transcriptional 'hot spots'. Unbiased hierarchical clustering clearly separated patients from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched controls (MCRs; 'disease' signature), and active from remittent patients ('activity' signature). DEGs associated with these signatures are involved in immune response, cytoskeletal reorganization, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling, oxidation-reduction and apoptosis. We further found that MCRs carrying the PV-associated HLA risk alleles cluster distinctly from unmatched controls (UMCR) revealing an HLA-associated 'control' signature. A subset of DEGs within the 'control' signature overlap with the 'disease' signature, but are inversely regulated in MCR when compared with either PV patients or UMCR, suggesting the existence of a 'protection' signature in healthy individuals carrying the PV HLA genetic risk elements. Finally, we identified 19 transcriptional 'hot spots' across the signatures, which may guide future studies aimed at pinpointing disease risk genes.
