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

objectivesGuillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a type of acute autoimmune disease, which occurs in peripheral nerves and their roots. There is extensive evidence that suggests many immune-associated genes have essential roles in GBS. However, the associations between immune genes and GBS have not been sufficiently examined as most previous studies have only focused on individual genes rather than their entire interaction networks. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this study, multiple levels of data including immune-associated genes, GBS-associated genes, protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and gene expression profiles were integrated, and an immune or GBS-directed neighbour co-expressed network (IOGDNC network) and a GBS-directed neighbour co-expressed network (GDNC network) were constructed.

resultsOur analysis shows the immune-associated genes are strongly related to GBS-associated genes whether at the interaction level or gene expression level. Five immune-associated modules were also identified which could distinguish between GBS and normal samples. In addition, functional analysis indicated that immune-associated genes are essential in GBS.

conclusionsOverall, these results highlight a strong relationship between immune-associated genes and GBS existed and provide a potential role for immune-associated genes as novel diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers for GBS.
