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

backgroundThis study aimed to perform an immunoprofiling of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) in order to define biomarkers of clinical use as well as reveal new immune mechanisms.

methodsImmunoprofiling of plasma samples from a clinically well-described cohort consisting of 21 sJIA patients as well as 60 age and sex matched healthy controls, was performed by a highly sensitive proteomic immunoassay. Based on the biomarkers being significantly up- or down-regulated in cross-sectional and paired analysis, related canonical pathways and cellular functions were explored by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA).

resultsThe well-studied sJIA biomarkers, IL6, IL18 and S100A12, were confirmed to be increased during active sJIA as compared to healthy controls. IL18 was the only factor found to be increased during inactive sJIA as compared to healthy controls. Novel factors, including CASP8, CCL23, CD6, CXCL1, CXCL11, CXCL5, EIF4EBP1, KITLG, MMP1, OSM, SIRT2, SULT1A1 and TNFSF11, were found to be differentially expressed in active and/or inactive sJIA and healthy controls. No significant pathway activation could be predicted based on the limited factor input to the IPA. High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1), a damage associated molecular pattern being involved in a series of inflammatory diseases, was determined to be higher in active sJIA than inactive sJIA.

conclusionsWe could identify a novel set of biomarkers distinguishing active sJIA from inactive sJIA or healthy controls. Our findings enable a better understanding of the immune mechanisms active in sJIA and aid the development of future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
