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: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an acquired autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction. As immunosuppressive agents used to treat MG have a significant impact on the growth and development of children, treatment is extremely challenging. Jianpi Yiqi Bugan Yishen Decoction (JYBYD) has been developed to treat MG and has achieved satisfactory results in clinical practice. This study aimed to explore its action mechanism and evaluate its active ingredients and potential therapeutic targets. Methods: Single-cell transcriptome sequencing of peripheral blood immune cells of children with MG was performed to reveal the changes in immune cell profiles before and after JYBYD treatment. Lewis rats were included in the model, with classic MG induced by subcutaneous injection of the immunogen acetylcholine receptor (AChR). Twenty rats were divided into two groups and administered normal saline and JYBYD by gavage daily. Results: An increase in cell populations characterized by cortactin expression was observed, which has a potential effect on the recovery of lesions at the neuromuscular junction in patients with MG. Based on the differential expression of genes in various immune cells and the predicted targets of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compounds, the possible therapeutic targets of JYBYD in different cell subsets were identified, among which Conclusions: The results of this study are of significance for the clinical application of JYBYD and drug development against MG in children.
