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

Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease associated with multiple factors. Epigenetics can affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. In this study, we aimed to comprehensively analyze epigenetic regulation in RA. Methods: Using the Gene Expression Omnibus database, we identified a methylation chip, RNA-sequencing, and miRNA microarray for RA. First, we searched for DNA methylation, genes, and miRNAs associated with RA using differential analysis. Second, we determined the regulatory networks for RA-specific methylation, miRNA, and m6A using cross-analysis. Based on these three regulatory networks, we built a comprehensive epigenetic regulatory network and identified hub genes. Results: Using a differential analysis, we identified 16,852 differentially methylated sites, 4877 differentially expressed genes, and 32 differentially expressed miRNAs. The methylation-expression regulatory network was mainly associated with the PI3K-Akt and T-cell receptor signaling pathways. The miRNA expression regulatory network was mainly related to the MAPK and chemokine signaling pathways. M6A regulatory network was mainly associated with the MAPK signaling pathway. Additionally, five hub genes were identified in the epigenetic regulatory network: Conclusion: We constructed a comprehensive epigenetic network associated with RA and identified core regulatory genes. This study provides a new direction for future research on the epigenetic mechanisms of RA.
