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 Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is a complex systemic autoimmune disease, which is difficult to accurately diagnose due to symptom diversity in patients, especially at earlier stages. We tried to find potential single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), copy number variations (CNVs) and related signaling pathways. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of 12 individuals (7 individuals from 3 pSS pedigrees and 5 sporadic cases) for whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis. SNPs and CNVs were identified, followed by functional annotation of genes with SNPs and CNVs. Gene expression profile (involving 64 normal controls and 166 cases) was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GEO) dataset for differentially expression analysis. Sanger sequencing and in vitro validation was used to validate the identified SNPs and differentially expressed genes, respectively. A total of 5 SNPs were identified in both pedigrees and sporadic cases, such as FES, PPM1J, and TRAPPC9. A total of 3402 and 19 CNVs were identified in pedigrees and sporadic cases, respectively. Fifty-one differentially expressed genes were associated with immunity, such as BATF3, LAP3, BATF2, PARP9, and IL15RA. AMPK signaling pathway and cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) were the most significantly enriched signaling pathways of identified SNPs. Identified CNVs were associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, mineral absorption, and HTLV-I infection. IL2-STAT5 signaling, interferon-gamma response, and interferon-alpha response were significantly enriched immune related signaling pathways of identified differentially expressed genes. In conclusion, our study found some potential SNPs, CNVs, and related signaling pathways, which could be useful in understanding the pathological mechanism of pSS.
