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 aimed to investigate immune-related pathophysiology of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA) in young females by analyzing transcriptional profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was conducted on 24 young females with TMJ OA (mean age 19.3 ± 3.1 years) (RNAOA) and 11 age and sex matched healthy controls (mean age 20.5 ± 3.7 years) (CON). RNA-seq datasets were analyzed to identify genes, pathways, and regulatory networks of those which were involved in the development of TMJ OA. RNA-seq data analysis revealed 41 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between RNAOA and CON. A total of 16 gene ontology (GO) terms including three molecular and 13 biological terms were annotated via the GO function of molecular function and biological process. Through ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA), 21 annotated categories of diseases and functions were identified. There were six hub genes which showed significant results in both GO enrichment analysis and IPA, namely HLA-C, HLA-F, CXCL8, IL11RA, IL13RA1, and FCGR3B. The young females with TMJ OA showed alterations of the genes related to immune function in the blood and some of changes may reflect inflammation, autoimmunity, and abnormal T cell functions.
