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

To explore the pathologies of Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) and KBD accompanied with dental fluorosis (DF), we conducted a comparative analysis of gene expression profiles. 12 subjects were recruited, including 4 KBD patients, 4 patients with KBD and DF and 4 healthy subjects. Genome-wide expression profiles from their peripheral blood mononuclear cells were evaluated by customized oligonucleotide microarray. R programming software was used for the microarray data analysis followed by functional enrichment analysis through KOBAS. Several potential biomarkers were identified, and quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used for their validation. In this study, 28 genes and 8 genes were found to be up- and down-regulated respectively in KBD patients compared with health subjects. In patients with KBD and DF, we obtained 10 up-regulated and 3 down-regulated genes compared with health controls. Strikingly, no differential expression gene (DEG) was identified between the two groups of patients. A total of 10 overlaps (DUSP2, KLRF1, SRP19, KLRC3, CD69, SIK1, ITGA4, ID3, HSPA1A, GPR18) were obtained between DEGs of patients with KBD and patients with KBD and DF. They play important roles in metabolism, differentiation, apoptosis and bone-development. The relative abundance of 8 DEGs, i.e. FCRL6, KLRC3, CXCR4, CD93, CLK1, GPR18, SRP19 and KLRF1, were further confirmed by qRT-PCR analysis.
