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

Immune-mediated polyneuropathies are acquired conditions that can be categorized to acute and chronic forms based on the disease course. Although the basic mechanism of these conditions has not been clarified yet, genes that regulate immune responses are putative contributors in their development. In the current study, we assessed expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1-3 and STAT5a genes in peripheral blood of 51 patients and 40 healthy subjects. Expression of STAT1 was higher in female patients compared with female controls (Posterior Beta = 3.622, P = 0.044). The gender*group interaction was significant for this gene which indicates different direction of association in males and females. Expressions of other STAT genes were not different between cases and controls. The diagnostic power of STAT1 in female subjects was estimated to be 0.72 with sensitivity of 68.75% and specificity of 84.62%. There was no significant correlation either between expression of different STAT genes or between their expression and age of study participants. The current study potentiates STAT1 as a putative factor in the pathophysiology of acquired immune-mediated polyneuropathies in females and suggests conduction of further functional studies to elaborate the molecular mechanism of this contribution.
