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

backgroundAccurate diagnostic techniques for patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) are needed. This study aimed to investigate new biomarkers related to fecal and plasma metabolism from pSS patients.

methodsThe feces and plasma of 21 pSS patients and 18 controls admitted to the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were collected for analysis. Metabolites in feces and plasma were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The metabolic pathway alterations caused by pSS were studied and the expression of metabolites in the intersecting pathway was analyzed in the feces and plasma of pSS patients. Metabolites that showed the same alterations in feces and plasma in pSS patients were considered as diagnostic markers and receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to analyze the sensitivity of these markers in diagnosing pSS.

resultsThere were 114 and 92 upregulated metabolites and 54 and 125 downregulated metabolites in the feces and plasma of pSS patients, respectively. These metabolites were enriched in 8 pathways for feces and 12 pathways for plasma. Arginine biosynthesis, Linoleic acid metabolism, Tyrosine metabolism, Taurine and hypotaurine metabolism were pathways enriched by metabolites in both samples. Twelves metabolites were enriched in the above four pathways, while only 9,10-12,13-Diepoxyoctadecanoate, Tyramine, 9-OxoODE and 2-Hydroxyethanesulfonate showed the same trend. The candidate diagnostic markers were all predictive, with better diagnostic sensitivity in plasma samples.

conclusions9,10-12,13-Diepoxyoctadecanoate, Tyramine, 9-OxoODE, 2-Hydroxyethanesulfonate were metabolism-related diagnostic markers for pSS feces and plasma.
