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

objectivesThis study evaluated expression of circRNA in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients so as to find novel biomarkers for pSS screening and discussed possible role of circRNA in pSS. We also evaluated expression profile of circRNA in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.

methodsMicroarray analysis detected circRNA expression in PBMCs from five paired pSS, SLE patients, and controls. Then, differentially expressed circRNAs were validated in 30 pSS patients as compared to 30 SLE patients, healthy controls. CircRNAs interacting with miRNAs were discussed by Arraystar's homemade miRNA target prediction software. ROC analysis assessed the diagnostic value.

resultsWe identified 234 differentially expressed circRNAs in pSS patients and verified five selected circRNAs (including hsa_circRNA_001264, hsa_circRNA_104121, hsa_circRNA_045355, hsa_circRNA_103461, hsa_circRNA_105034). Expression of hsa_circRNA_001264, hsa_circRNA_104121, and hsa_circRNA_045355 was strongly related to some clinical, laboratory parameters, and disease activity index in pSS patients. ROC analysis indicated potential diagnostic ability for the three circRNAs in pSS patients. One hundred and forty-eight circRNAs were differently expressed between lupus patients and controls.

conclusionThis study provides evidence that hsa_circRNA_001264, hsa_circRNA_104121, and hsa_circRNA_045355 might be biomarkers for pSS, correlate with pSS etiology.Key Points• Many circRNAs were dysregulated in pSS patients.• Differentially expressed circRNAs correlated with pSS clinical, laboratory features.• CircRNAs may be biomarkers for pSS.
