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

backgroundInflammatory bowel disease may arise with inadequate immune response to intestinal bacteria. NOD2 is an established gene in Crohn's disease pathogenesis, with deleterious variation associated with reduced NFKB signaling. We hypothesized that deleterious variation across the NOD2 signaling pathway impacts on transcription.

methodsTreatment-naïve pediatric inflammatory bowel disease patients had ileal biopsies for targeted autoimmune RNA-sequencing and blood for whole exome sequencing collected at diagnostic endoscopy. Utilizing GenePy, a per-individual, per-gene score, genes within the NOD signaling pathway were assigned a quantitative score representing total variant burden. Where multiple genes formed complexes, GenePy scores were summed to create a "complex" score. Normalized transcript expression of 95 genes within this pathway was retrieved. Regression analysis was performed to determine the impact of genomic variation on gene transcription.

resultsThirty-nine patients were included. Limited clustering of patients based on NOD signaling transcripts was related to underlying genomic variation. Patients harboring deleterious variation in NOD2 had reduced NOD2 (β = -0.702, P = 4.3 × 10-5) and increased NFKBIA (β = 0.486, P = .001), reflecting reduced NFKB signal activation. Deleterious variation in the NOD2-RIPK2 complex was associated with increased NLRP3 (β = 0.8, P = 3.1475 × 10-8) and TXN (β = -0.417, P = 8.4 × 10-5) transcription, components of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Deleterious variation in the TAK1-TAB complex resulted in reduced MAPK14 transcription (β = -0.677, P = 1.7 × 10-5), a key signal transduction protein in the NOD2 signaling cascade and increased IFNA1 (β = 0.479, P = .001), indicating reduced transcription of NFKB activators and alternative interferon transcription in these patients.

conclusionsData integration identified perturbation of NOD2 signaling transcription correlated with genomic variation. A hypoimmune NFKB signaling transcription response was observed. Alternative inflammatory pathways were activated and may represent therapeutic targets in specific patients.
