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

backgroundA growing number of severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) cases have been reported recently. However, the pathogenesis of severe MPP is not clear. In the current study, transcriptome sequencing was used to identify gene expression and alternative splicing profiles to provide insights into the pathogenesis of severe MPP.

methodsRNAs of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples from three severe MPP children and three mild MPP children were analyzed respectively by deep sequencing followed by computational annotation and quantification.

resultsThe gene expression analysis revealed 14 up-regulated and 34 down-regulated genes in severe MPP children comparing to mild MPP children. The top 10 most up-regulated genes were IGHV1-69, CH17-472G23.1, ATP1B2, FCER2, MUC21, IL13, FCRLB, CLEC5A, FAM124A, and INHBA. The top 10 most down-regulated genes were OSTN-AS1, IL22RA2, COL3A1, C1orf141, IGKV2-29, RP11-731F5.2, IGHV4-4, KIRREL, DNASE1L3, and COL6A2. Clustering analysis revealed similar expression pattern of CLEC5A, IL13, FCER2, and FLT1. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses revealed changes related to primary immunodeficiency in severe MPP children comparing to mild MPP children; the pathway involves CD19, TNFRSF13C, CD79A, and AICDA genes. Among the differentially expressed genes, significant alternative splicing events were found in FCER2 and FCRLA.

conclusionsThe current study on RNA sequencing provides novel insights into the pathogenesis of severe MPP in terms of gene expression and alternative splicing. The up-regulation of IL13, FCER2, FLT1, and CLEC5A and the down-regulation of CD79A, AICDA, CD19, and TNFRSF13C may contribute to the pathogenesis of severe MPP. The differential expressions of FCER2 and FCRLA could be due to their alternative splicing.
