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

High-affinity antibodies to double-stranded DNA are a hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and are thought to contribute to disease flares and tissue inflammation such as nephritis. Notwithstanding their clinical importance, major questions remain about the development and regulation of these pathogenic anti-DNA responses. These include the mechanisms that prevent anti-DNA responses in healthy subjects, despite the constant generation of self-DNA and the abundance of DNA-reactive B cells; the nature and physical form of antigenic DNA in SLE; the regulation of DNA availability as an antigen; and potential therapeutic strategies targeting the pathogenic DNA in SLE. This review summarizes current progress in these directions, focusing on the role of secreted DNases in the regulation of antigenic extracellular DNA.
