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

This study was aimed to investigate the correlation of lnc-ITSN1-2, lnc-APOC3-2 and lnc-AL355149.1 expressions in plasma by qPCR with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk and disease activity. 30 RA patients and 30 health controls (HC) were enrolled in this study. Plasma sample were collected from RA patients before any treatment carried out and HCs. Top 3 RA related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) (lnc-ITSN1-2, lnc-APOC3-2 and lnc-AL355149.1) were selected by a computational framework prediction. The expression of lnc-ITSN1-2, lnc-APOC3-2 and lnc-AL355149.1 were determined by qPCR method. Age (P=0.350) and gender (P=0.542) were similar between RA patients and HCs. lnc-ITSN1-2 level was extremely increased in RA patients compared with HCs (P<0.001), while both lnc-APOC3-2 and lnc-AL355149.1 expressions were numerically higher in RA patients but with no statistical significance (P=0.152 and P=0.139 respectively). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were performed and we found lnc-ITSN1-2 disclosed a great diagnostic value for RA with area under curve (AUC) 0.898, 95% CI 0.813-0.983, and sensitivity was 90.0% and specificity was 80.0% respectively at the best cut-off point. In addition, plasma lnc-ITSN1-2 level was illuminated to be positively associated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (P=0.049), C-reactive protein (CRP) (P<0.001) and disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28) (P=0.007). Circulating lnc-ITSN1-2 expression was observed to be a novel and convincing biomarker for RA diagnosis as well as disease management.
