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

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an autoimmune disease that mainly affects the spinal joints, sacroiliac joints, and adjacent soft tissues. We conducted bioinformatics analysis to explore the molecular mechanism related to AS pathogenesis and uncover novel potential molecular targets for the treatment of AS. The profiles of GSE25101, containing gene expression data extracted from the blood of 16 AS patients and 16 matched controls, were acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The background correction and standardization were carried out utilizing the transcript per million (TPM) method. After analysis of AS patients and the normal groups, we identified 199 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with upregulation and 121 DEGs with downregulation by the limma R package. The results of the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway and Gene Ontology (GO) biological process enrichment analysis revealed that the DEGs with upregulation were mainly associated with spliceosome, ribosome, RNA-catabolic process, electron transport chain, etc. And the DEGs with downregulation primarily participated in T cell-associated pathways and processes. After analysis of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, our data revealed that the hub genes, comprising MRPL13, MRPL22, LSM3, COX7A2, COX7C, EP300, PTPRC, and CD4, could be the treatment targets in AS. Our data furnish new hints to uncover the features of AS and explore more promising treatment targets towards AS.
