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

introductionLncRNA CCAT1 promotes inflammatory responses, which contribute to tuberculosis. Therefore, CCAT1 may participate in tuberculosis. Therefore, we analyzed the involvement of CCAT1 in tuberculosis.

methodsPlasma samples were donated by a total of 200 patients with newly developed tuberculosis (N-TB), 102 patients with recurrent tuberculosis (R-TB), and 102 healthy controls on the day of admission. Plasma samples were also collected from N-TB and R-TB patients every month after the initiation of treatment for a total of 6 months. CCAT1 expression in these samples was detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Levels of IFN-γ, IL-1β, iNOS, TNF-α, and IL-10 in plasma were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. N-TB and R-TB patients were monitored for 2 months to analyze their survival.

resultsOn the day of admission, the highest levels of CCAT1, IFN-γ, IL-1β, iNOS, and TNF-α were detected in N-TB patients, followed by R-TB patients and controls, while the lowest levels of plasma IL-10 were detected in N-TB patients, followed by R-TB patients and controls. Across R-TB and N-TB patients, CCAT1 was inversely correlated with IL-10 but not closely correlated with other inflammatory factors. During the treatment, plasma CCAT1 levels decreased in both N-TB and R-TB patients. High CCAT1 levels were closely correlated with high mortality rates of both N-TB and R-TB patients.

conclusionCCAT1 is overexpressed in tuberculosis patients and predicts their survival. Its function in tuberculosis may be related to IL-10.
