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

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease involving multiple organ systems with diverse presentation, primarily affecting women of reproductive age. Various genetic and environmental risk factors are involved in the pathogenesis of SLE, and many SLE susceptibility genes have been identified recently; however, gene therapy is not a viable clinical option at this time. Thus, environmental risks factors, particularly regional characteristics that can be controlled, need to be further investigated. Here, we systematically explored these risk factors, including ultraviolet radiation, seasonal distribution, geographical distribution, and climate factors, and also summarized the mechanisms related to these risk factors. Probable mechanisms were explicated in at least four aspects including inflammatory mediators, apoptosis and autophagy in keratinocytes, epigenetic factors, and gene-environment interactions. This information is expected to provide practical insights into these risk factors in order to benefit patients with SLE and facilitate the development of potential therapeutic strategies.
