Identification of a key gene module associated with glucocorticoid- induced derangement in bone mineral density in patients with asthma.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Derangement in bone mineral density (BMD) caused by glucocorticoid is well-known. The present study aimed to find key biological pathways associated with low BMD after glucocorticoid treatment in asthmatics using gene expression profiles of peripheral blood cells. We utilized immortalized B cells (IBCs) from 32 childhood asthmatics after multiple oral glucocorticoid bursts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 17 adult asthmatics after a long-term use of oral glucocorticoid. We searched co-expressed gene modules significantly related with the BMD Z score in childhood asthmatics and tested if these gene modules were preserved and significantly associated with the BMD Z score in adult asthmatics as well. We identified a gene module composed of 199 genes significantly associated with low BMD in both childhood and adult asthmatics. The structure of this module was preserved across gene expression profiles. We found that the cellular metabolic pathway was significantly enriched in this module. Among 18 hub genes in this module, we postulated that 2 genes, CREBBP and EP300, contributed to low BMD following a literature review. A novel biologic pathway identified in this study highlighted a gene module and several genes as playing possible roles in the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid- induced derangement in BMD.
