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

Objectives: Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is an epigenetic regulator that plays an essential role in immune system development and autoimmune diseases. This study aimed to characterize the role of EZH2 in the pathogenesis of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Methods: We analyzed EZH2 expression in two transcriptomic datasets of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from pSS patients and healthy controls. We measured EZH2 expression in CD4 Results: EZH2 was upregulated in GSE164885 and GSE48378. EZH2 expression was higher in pSS CD4 Conclusions: EZH2 expression was abnormally elevated in pSS CD4
