Coordination of retrotransposons and type I interferon with distinct interferon pathways in dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus and autoimmune blistering disease.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
Type I interferon (IFN) plays a crucial role in innate and adaptive immunity, and aberrant IFN responses are involved in systemic autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and dermatomyositis (DM). Type I IFNs can be induced by transcribed retrotransposons. The regulation of retrotransposons and type I IFN and the downstream IFN pathways in SLE, DM, and autoimmune blistering disease (AIBD) were investigated. The gene expression levels of retrotransposons, including LINE-1, type I-III IFNs, and IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) in peripheral blood cells from patients with DM (n = 24), SLE (n = 19), AIBD (n = 14) and healthy controls (HCs, n = 10) were assessed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Upregulation of retrotransposons and IFNs was detected in DM patient samples, as is characteristic, compared to HCs; however, ISGs were not uniformly upregulated. In contrast, retrotransposons and IFNs, except for type II IFN, such as IFN-γ, were not upregulated in SLE. In AIBD, only some retrotransposons and type I interferons were upregulated. The DM, SLE, and AIBD samples showed coordinated expression of retrotransposons and type I IFNs and distinct spectra of IFN signaling. A positive correlation between LINE-1 and IFN-β1 was also detected in human cell lines. These factors may participate in the development of these autoimmune diseases.
