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

Primary Sjögren' s syndrome (pSS) is a relatively common autoimmune disease, which mainly involves the exocrine glands, causing dry eye, dryness of mouth, fatigue and pain in the joints, thus severely affecting the normal lives of patients. B cell populations are considered to play an important role in their pathogenesis and pSS patients are generally characterized by exhibiting biological signs of B cell activation. Moreover, another important characterized change in the peripheral blood of pSS patients is found to be the decreased number of circulating memory B cells. However, the mechanisms underlying the B cell activation and the decreased level of circulating memory B cells in pSS patients are still unclear. Therefore, we identified key genes and pathways involved in B cells in pSS through a combination of several bioinformatic approaches including Cell-type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of RNA Transcripts (CIBERSORT) and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) using gene expression data of pSS patients and controls from an open database Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The results may provide some novel insights into the pathogenesis of pSS. Moreover, we constructed and validated a diagnostic model for pSS by using the expression patterns of these key genes, which may assist clinicians in diagnosing pSS.
