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

Silicosis patients (SIL) suffer from respiratory disorders and dysregulation of autoimmunity. Frequent complications such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis (SSc) and vasculitis are known in SIL. Furthermore, we reported previously that some SIL exhibited better respiratory conditions in association with a worse immunological status. In this study, the clinical roles of anti-CENP-B and Scl-70 autoantibodies in SIL were analyzed. The titer index (Log10) of anti-CENP-B autoantibody in SIL was higher than that of healthy volunteers (HV), and that of SSc was higher than those of HV and SIL. This titer index was positively correlated with an assumed immune status of 1 for HV, 2 for SIL, and 3 for SSc. Moreover, although factor analysis revealed that the titer index of the anti-CENP-B autoantibody formed the same factor with the anti-Scl-70 autoantibody, IgG value and age in SIL cases, another extracted factor indicated that the IgA value and anti-Scl-70 antibody were positively related, but anti-CENP-B showed an opposite pattern in the results of the factor analysis. These findings indicated that the titer index of anti-CENP-B autoantibody may be a biomarker for dysregulation in SIL cases. Future clinical follow-up of SIL may therefore require both respiratory and immunological assessment.
