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: Although the pathogenetic mechanisms of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Graves' disease (GD) have been elucidated, the molecular mechanisms by which the abnormal immune function of cellular subpopulations trigger an autoimmune attack on thyroid tissue largely remains unexplained. Methods: The study included 2 HT patients, 2 GD patients, and 1 control donor. The thyroid samples were extracted for single-cell RNA sequencing, whole transcriptome, full-length transcriptome (Oxford Nanopore Technologies), and metabolome sequencing. Identification of immune cells with dysregulated gene expression and abnormal metabolic signaling was performed in the microenvironment, both at the bulk and single-cell levels. Based on functional enrichment analysis, the biological processes and pathways involved in abnormal immune cells were further explored. Finally, according to cell communication analysis, the global regulatory network of immune cells was constructed. Results: CD4 Conclusion: In HT and GD, immune dysregulated cells interact and activate relevant immune pathways and further aggravate the immune response. This may trigger the immune cells to target the thyroid tissue and influence the development of the disease.
