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

Although recent advances in genetic studies have shed light on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), its detailed mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, using datasets on SLE transcriptomic profiles, we identified 750 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in T and B lymphocytes and peripheral blood cells. Using transcription factor (TF) binding data derived from chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) experiments from the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project, we inferred networks of co-regulated genes (NcRGs) based on binding profiles of the upregulated DEGs by significantly enriched TFs. Modularization analysis of NcRGs identified co-regulatory modules among the DEGs and master TFs vital for each module. Remarkably, the co-regulatory modules stratified the common SLE interferon (IFN) signature and revealed SLE pathogenesis pathways, including the complement cascade, cell cycle regulation, NETosis, and epigenetic regulation. By integrative analyses of disease-associated genes (DAGs), DEGs, and enriched TFs, as well as proteins interacting with them, we identified a hierarchical regulatory cascade with TFs regulated by DAGs, which in turn regulates gene expression. Integrative analysis of multi-omics data provided valuable molecular insights into the molecular mechanisms of SLE.
