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

backgroundAllergic rhinitis (AR) is an upper respiratory tract inflammation disease caused by IgE-mediated reactions against inhaled allergens. The incidence of AR is significantly increasing throughout the world. Hence, more specific, and sensitive gene biomarkers and understanding the underlying pathways are necessary to further explore the AR pathogenesis.

objectiveTo identify gene biomarkers in nasal mucosa and in blood from AR patients which could be used in AR diagnosis.

methodsThe gene expression profiles of GSE43523 from nasal epithelial cells and GSE75011 from Th2-enriched CD4+ T cells in blood were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis were conducted to investigate the functional changes of genes. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the diagnostic values of the hub genes. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed to validate the hub genes.

resultsSignificant differentially enriched gene signatures in AR patients were identified in nasal epithelial cells (n-DEGs) and in blood (t-DEGs). Signatures associated with axoneme, extracellular matrix, collagen fibril organization, cell motility, calcium ion binding, and so on were more enriched in n-DEGs, whereas signatures associated with TNF signaling pathway, detoxification of inorganic compound, and cellular response to corticotropin-releasing hormone stimulus were enriched in t-DEGs. In addition, we identified 8 hub genes and 14 hub genes from n-DEGs and t-DEGs, respectively. The combination of POSTN in nasal mucosa and PENK and CDC25A in blood was constructed with a good AR predicting performance. The area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curve of 3 hub genes' combination was 0.98 for AR diagnosis.

conclusionThis study utilized gene expression profiles and RT-qPCR validation on nasal mucosa and blood from AR patients to investigate the potential biomarkers for AR diagnosis.
