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

backgroundTo analyse the validity of membrane-bound SIGLEC1 (CD169) as a sensitive biomarker for monitoring disease activity in pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

methods27 children and adolescents with SLE were followed for a mean of 13.5 months. During consecutive routine visits SLEDAI-2k, C3, C4 and ds-DNA values were determined. Additionally, expression of SIGLEC1 on monocytes was determined by flow cytometry. The amount of PE-labelled CD169 mAb bound per monocyte was analyzed using QuantiBRITE™ PE tubes. Associations between biomarkers and the clinical course were investigated by regression analysis.

resultsIn general, SIGLEC1 expression is high on SLE-derived monocytes (mean 6 359 (SD 6 056) molecules/monocyte, cut-off 2 500 molecules/monocyte), all patients with newly diagnosed SLE exhibit elevated expression (mean 13366 (SD 7 750) molecules/monocyte). Changes (Δ) in SIGLEC1 levels during the clinical course is the only biomarker that significantly correlates with the change in SLEDAI-2k (beta

conclusionsSIGLEC1 expression on monocytes is a sensitive biomarker for adjusting disease activity in childhood SLE and represents a promising and easily applicable tool for disease monitoring.
