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

Our aim was to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes and biological processes that may help predict patient response to biologic agents for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Using the INMEX (integrative meta-analysis of expression data) software tool, we performed a meta-analysis of publicly available microarray Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets that examined patient response to biologic therapy for RA. Three GEO datasets, containing 79 responders and 34 non-responders, were included in the meta-analysis. We identified 1,374 genes that were consistently differentially expressed in responders vs. non-responders (651 up-regulated and 723 down-regulated). The up-regulated gene with the smallest p value (p=0.000192) was ASCC2 (Activating Signal Cointegrator 1 Complex Subunit 2), and the up-regulated gene with the largest fold change (average log fold change=-0.75869, p=0.000206) was KLRC3 (Killer Cell Lectin-Like Receptor Subfamily C, Member 3). The down-regulated gene with the smallest p value (p=0.000195) was MPL (Myeloproliferative Leukemia Virus Oncogene). Among the 236 GO terms associated with the set of DE genes, the most significantly enriched was "CTP biosynthetic process" (GO:0006241; p=0.000454). Our meta-analysis identified genes that were consistently DE in responders vs. non-responders, as well as biological pathways associated with this set of genes. These results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying responsiveness to biologic therapy for RA.
