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

purposeThe aim of this paper was to identify differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) influenced by the infection of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). MATERIALS AND

methodsIncRNA and mRNA expression profiles in PBMCs derived from healthy controls (HCs) and individuals with MDR-TB and drug-sensitive tuberculosis (DS-TB) were analyzed and compared by microarray assay. Six lncRNAs were randomly selected for validation by using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The biological functions and signaling pathways affected by the differentially expressed mRNAs were investigated by using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway-based approaches.

resultsCompared with the HC group, 1,429 lncRNAs (983 mRNAs) and 2,040 lncRNAs (1,407 mRNAs) were identified to be deregulated in the MDR-TB group and in the DS-TB group, respectively, and 1,511 lncRNAs and 1,047 mRNAs were identified to be differentially expressed in both MDR-TB and DS-TB groups. Between the three groups, 22 lncRNAs and 38 mRNAs were found deregulated. Most deregulated lncRNAs were from intergenic regions (~55% of the total), natural antisense to protein-coding loci (~32% of the total), or intronic antisense to protein-coding loci (~5% of the total). Significantly enriched signaling pathways regulated by the deregulated mRNAs were mainly associated with natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity, antigen processing and presentation, graft-vs-host disease, the transforming growth factor-β signaling pathway, and the Hippo signaling pathway.

conclusionThis study is the first to report differentially expressed lncRNAs in PBMCs in response to MDR-TB infection. It revealed that some lncRNAs might be associated with regulating host immune response to MDR-TB infection. Further elucidation of the potential of these deregulated lncRNAs in MDR-TB and its reactivation requires further study.
