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

Sarcoidosis is a complex systemic granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology. Genome-wide association studies have not been able to explain a causative role for nucleotide variation in its pathogenesis. The goal of the present study was to identify the gene expression profile and the cellular pathways altered in sarcoidosis monocytes via RNA-sequencing. Peripheral blood monocytes play a role in sarcoidosis inflammation. Therefore, we determined and compared the transcriptional signature of monocytes from peripheral blood from sarcoidosis patients and healthy controls via RNA-sequencing. We found 2,446 differentially expressed (DE) genes between sarcoidosis and healthy control monocytes. Analysis of these DE genes showed enrichment for ribosome, phagocytosis, lysosome, proteasome, oxidative phosphorylation and metabolic pathways. RNA-sequencing identified upregulation of genes involved in phagocytosis and lysosomal pathway in sarcoidosis monocytes, whereas genes involved in proteasome degradation and ribosomal pathways were downregulated. Further studies are needed to investigate the role of specific genes involved in the identified pathways and their possible interaction leading to sarcoidosis pathology.
