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

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that degenerates the central nervous system (CNS). B cells exacerbate the progression of CNS lesions in MS by producing auto-antibodies, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and presenting auto-antigens to activated T cells. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in complex biological processes and their stability in body fluids combined with their tissue specificity make these biomolecules promising biomarker candidates for MS diagnosis. In the current study, we investigated memory B cell-specific lncRNAs located, on average, less than 50 kb from differentially expressed protein-coding genes in MS patients compared to healthy individuals. Moreover, we included in our selection criteria lncRNA transcripts predicted to interact with microRNAs with established involvement in MS. To assess the expression levels of lncRNAs and their adjacent protein-coding genes, quantitative reverse transcription PCR was performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells samples of 50 MS patients compared to 25 controls. Our results showed that in relapsing MS patients, compared to remitting MS patients and healthy controls, lncRNA RP11-530C5.1 was up-regulated while AL928742.12 was down-regulated. Pearson's correlation tests showed positive correlations between the expression levels of RP11-530C5.1 and AL928742.12 with PAWR and IGHA2, respectively. The results of the ROC curve test demonstrated the potential biomarker roles of AL928742.12 and RP11-530C5.1. We conclude that these lncRNAs are potential markers for detection of relapsing MS patients.
