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

B cells are recognized as key participants in various autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Although sets of transcription factors and cytokines are known to regulate B cell differentiation, the roles of microRNAs are poorly understood. Our previous study proved that microRNA-326 (miR-326) was markedly upregulated in SLE patients; however, the biological function of miR-326 during SLE pathogenesis remained unknown. In this study, we found that miR-326 overexpression in MRL/lpr mice led to B cell hyperactivity and severe SLE. Moreover, E26 transformation-specific-1 (Ets-1), a negative regulator of B cell differentiation, was identified as a target of miR-326. Therefore, a novel mechanism has been found in which the elevated miR-326 in B cells of SLE promotes plasmablast development and antibody production through downregulation of Ets-1.
