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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to participate in the pathogenesis of several complex disorders such as immune-related disorders. Multiple sclerosis (MS) as an inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system has been associated with aberrant expression of several lncRNAs. In the current study, we assessed expression of NF-κB-, autophagy-, and obesity-associated lncRNAs/genes and two inflammatory cytokines in the peripheral blood of MS patients and healthy controls. LNC-MKI67IP was down-regulated in total MS patients compared with total controls (P value < 0.0001). However, when comparing its expression in a gender-based manner, no significant difference was found between patients and controls. Expression of HNF1A-AS1 was significantly lower in total MS patients and patients of both sexes when compared with the matched controls (P value < 0.0001; P value = 0.03; P value = 0.004, respectively). Expression of LINC00305 had a similar pattern to HNF1A-AS1 (P value < 0.0001; P value = 0.005; P value < 0.0001, respectively). Expressions of other assessed NF-κB associated lncRNAs were not different between cases and controls. Expression of IL-1B was significantly lower in total MS patients compared with total controls (P value < 0.0001). Such decreased expression was detected in female patients compared with female controls as well (P value < 0.0001). Expression of IL-6 was not different between cases and controls. Expression of CEBPA was higher in total MS patients compared with controls (P value = 0.047). However, when dividing study participants into male and female subgroups, no significant difference was detected between cases and gender-matched controls. There were no significant difference in the expression of any assessed autophagy-associated lncRNAs between cases and controls. ATG5, CEBPA, HNF1A-AS1, IL-1B, LINC00305, and LNC-MKI67IP could differentiate disease status with diagnostic power values of 0.781, 0.582, 0.744, 0.76, 0.926, and 0.703, respectively. Expression levels of ADINR and CHAST were correlated with age of MS patients and disease duration, respectively (r = 0.33, P < 0.0001; r = 0.34, P < 0.0001, respectively). The present study highlighted the role of a number lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of MS and supported the previous data regarding aberrant expression of these transcripts in this immune-related disorder.
