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 purpose of this study was to explore the skin transcriptional profile in pediatric localized scleroderma (LS) to provide a better understanding of the altered immune and fibrotic pathways promoting disease. LS is a progressive disease of the skin and underlying tissue that causes significant functional disability and disfigurement, especially in developing children. RNA sequencing (RNAseq) technology allows for improved understanding of relevant cellular expression through transcriptome analysis of phases during LS disease progression (more active/inflammatory vs. inactive/fibrotic) and also permits the use of RNA extracted from existing paraffin-embedded skin tissue, which is important in pediatrics. A strong correlation was observed between the comparison of genes expressed between fresh (RNAlater) and paraffinized skin in healthy and LS subjects, supporting the use of paraffinized tissue. LS gene signatures compared to healthy controls showed a distinct expression of an inflammatory response gene signature (IRGS) composed of IFNγ-, IFNα-, and TNFα-associated genes. GSEA
