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

Introduction: Turner syndrome (TS) is a chromosomal disorder that affects phenotypic females who have one intact X chromosome and complete or partial absence of the second sex chromosome in association with one or more clinical manifestations. However, the immunological profile of TS with different X chromosome origins is incompletely understood. Methods: In this study, transcriptomic expression profiles of 26 TS (45,X) samples and 10 normal karyotype (46,XX) samples derived from GSE46687 cohort were employed. Differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEIRGs) between monosomy X TS patients with different X chromosome origins and normal females were investigated respectively. Subsequently, functional annotation, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, immunocyte infiltration evaluation, tissue-specific gene expression and Weighted gene co expression network analysis (WGCNA) were performed to explore the immunological characteristic in TS with different X chromosome origins. Results: 34 and 52 DEIRGs were respectively identified in 45,Xm and 45,Xp patients compared with normal individuals. The identified DEIRGs in Xm group were significantly enriched in pathways associated with cancer. In Xp TS patients, the most enriched signals were immune response-related. A majority of genes involved in the above pathways were downregulated. PPI analysis identified 4 ( Conclusions: This study aims at studying the immunological characteristics of TS with different X chromosome origins. Pathways in cancer in Xm group and immune response in Xp group were suppressed. 4 and 6 hub IRGs were identified as biomarkers for Xm and Xp patients, respectively. B cells played important roles in Xp patients. Further studies are needed to draw more attention to the functional validation of these hub genes and the roles of B cells.
