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

Background: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a relatively common diffuse connective tissue disease that often invades exocrine glands, such as the lacrimal and salivary glands, and manifests as dry eyes and dry mouth. At present, the molecular mechanism of pSS is not clear. This study was designed to explore the internal mechanism of pSS from the gene level and screen out the immune-related diagnostic markers of pSS. Methods: The gene expression profiles GSE84844, GSE7451, and GSE40611 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified with R software. Then, the DEGs were intersected with the immune genes obtained from the ImmPort database to acquire differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEIRGs), and functional enrichment analyses were performed. The DEIRGs were screened through the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression algorithm to obtain the optimal immune-related genes (IRGs). Expression levels of the optimal IRGs were verified by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to obtain the key genes. Next, gene chips GSE7451 and GSE40611, from other tissues, were selected as the training sets to verify the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis of the key genes by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results: A total of 54 DEIRGs were obtained. The functional enrichment analysis results showed that they play an important role in immune and inflammatory responses. Nine optimal IRGs were screened from the DEIRGs by the LASSO logistic regression algorithm. After qRT-PCR verification, eight out of nine optimal IRGs ( Conclusions: The key DEIRGs play a decisive role during the occurrence and development of pSS.
