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

backgroundKawasaki disease (KD) is associated with expression and methylation of Fc gamma receptor genes. We characterized immunoglobulin A (IgA), IgE, IgG, and IgM receptor expression levels in KD.

methodsFc receptor expression levels were characterized using GeneChip Human Transcriptome Array 2.0 (HTA 2.0) with 18 KD patients, 18 non-febrile controls, and 18 febrile controls. Another 48 control individuals and 46 patients with KD were measured using pyrosequencing for the methylation levels.

resultsThe mRNA expression levels of FCER1A and FCER2 were significantly lower in KD patients than in non-febrile controls and then rose following treatments with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Expression levels of FCER1G increased compared to the non-febrile subjects and then subsided after IVIG. FCER1A methylation was significantly lower among KD patients and even lower in KD patients with IVIG resistance. HTA analysis revealed higher mRNA levels of FCAR, FCGR1C, and FCGR2A in KD patients. FCMR mRNA expression levels were significantly lower in KD patients. FCMR expression levels rose after IVIG treatment. After IVIG, FCGR1A, B, and C decreased even lower than the febrile controls.

conclusionThis is the first study indicating that IgA, IgE, IgG, and IgM receptors are associated with KD. We highlighted potential biomarkers related to Fc receptors and their regulation.
