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

A variety of autoantibodies has been involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), some of which are well known and applied as disease biomarkers. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of a novel autoantibody, anti-tubulin-α-1C, in patients with SLE and investigate its clinical significance. Anti-tubulin-α-1C autoantibody levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 128 SLE patients, 38 primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients, and 106 healthy controls (HCs).White blood cell (WBC) count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), IgM, IgG, C3, C4, RF, ANA, dsDNA, Sm, AnuA, aCL, anti-SSA, and anti-SSB were measured by standard laboratory techniques. SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) was evaluated accordingly. Anti-tubulin-α-1C antibody levels were significantly increased in SLE patients. Elevated anti-tubulin-α-1C were correlated with higher levels of SLEDAI, increased titers of anti-Sm antibody, and decreased titers of anti-dsDNA antibody and significantly associated with cutaneous and mucosal vasculitis and milder renal involvement. Anti-tubulin-α-1C may become a novel biomarker indicative of active vasculitis in SLE and could be applied in future clinical practice.
