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 Fc receptor-like (FCRL) molecules have recently been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of certain autoimmune disorders. In this study, we investigated the expression levels of FCRL1, 2 and 4 in blood mononuclear cells from rheumatoid arthritis patients using real-time PCR. The mRNA of these molecules was detected in 44.4 % (FCRL1), 53.3 % (FCRL2) and 31.1 % (FCRL4) of patients. Comparatively, 31.1 % (FCRL1), 51.1 % (FCRL2) and 26.6 % (FCRL4) of controls expressed these genes. Analysis of gene expressions in FCRL-positive patients demonstrated a lower FCRL4 gene expression in patients compared to controls (P < 0.001). In FCRL2-positive patients, a significant positive correlation between FCRL2 expression and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (P < 0.001), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (P = 0.033) level and disease activity score (DAS28, P = 0.016) was found. In conclusion, decreased FCRL4 expression and association of FCRL2 expression with inflammatory markers and disease activity suggested the contribution of these molecules to RA inflammatory processes.
