The Clinical and Immunological Activity Depending on the Presence of Interferon γ in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome-A Pilot Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The upregulation of IFN pathways and their stimulated genes is associated with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). The recent studies also indicate the involvement of interferon γ (IFNγ) in the pathogenesis of pSS. The study aimed to assess the clinical and immunological activity depending on the concentration of IFNγ in the peripheral blood in pSS patients.
methodsThe study group consisted of patients over 18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of pSS. Based on the collected data, disease activity was assessed using the EULAR Sjögren's syndrome disease activity index (ESSDAI) and the EULAR Sjögren's syndrome patient reported index (ESSPRI).
resultsAmong 40 pSS patients, 33 (82%) showed increased levels of IFNγ. The group with positive IFNγ was younger (43 years) than the group with negative IFNγ (57 years) (
conclusionIn the group of patients with positive IFNγ, the mean value of RF and ESSDAI was higher. This group was also younger than patients with pSS without IFNγ.
