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

The present study aimed to investigate the differential expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). High-throughput gene sequencing technology was used to detect the expression of lncRNA and mRNA in three patients with RA (RA group) and normal controls (NC group). A Bioinformatics analysis was used to assess the effects of differentially expressed mRNAs on signaling pathways and biological functions. The selected dysregulated lncRNAs were verified by reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with RA and age- and sex-matched controls. A correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between lncRNAs and clinical indexes. From the lncRNA sequencing data, significantly differentially expressed lncRNAs between the RA and NC groups were identified by a fold change ≥2 and P<0.05. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis suggested that the differentially expressed mRNAs were mainly involved in organelle composition, intracellular regulation, signaling pathways, cancer, virus and inflammation. A total of four of these lncRNAs were confirmed by RT-qPCR to be significantly differentially expressed (LINC00304, MIR503HG, LINC01504 and FAM95B1). Through the correlation analysis, it was confirmed that there was a strong correlation between these lncRNAs and clinical laboratory indicators and indexes such as course of disease, arthrocele and joint tenderness. Overall, the present results suggested that the expression levels of LINC00304, MIR503HG, LINC01504 and FAM95B1 in PBMCs from patients with RA may serve as potential biomarkers for RA diagnosis, influencing the occurrence and progress of RA.
