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

Kashin-beck disease (KBD) is endemic chronic osteoarthrosis and its pathogenesis is still unclear. The present study aimed to explore differential gene expression in articular cartilage between patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and KBD. Articular cartilages were collected from KBD and RA patients, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed by RNA-seq. The signaling pathway and biological process (BP) of the DEGs were identified by enrichment analysis. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs and the key genes of KBD were identified by network analysis with STRING and cytoscape software. We identified 167 immune-related DEGs in articular cartilage samples from KBD patients compared with RA. The up-regulation of MAPK signaling pathway and the down-regulation of signaling pathways such as toll-like receptor, janus kinase-signal transducers and activators of transcription, leukocyte migration, T-cell receptor and chemokine, and antigen processing and presentation were involved in KBD. We identified 137 genes nodes related with immune and mapped the PPI network diagram. BP analysis revealed that immune response, calcium ion homeostasis, blood vessel morphogenesis, inflammatory response, lymphocyte proliferation, and MAPK activation were involved in KBD. In conclusion, gene expression profiling can be used to identify the different mechanism of pathogenesis between KBD and RA.
