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

Lung injury is one of the common extra‑articular lesions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Due to its insidious onset and no obvious clinical symptoms, it can be easily dismissed in the early stage of diagnosis, which is one of the reasons that leads to a decline of the quality of life and subsequent death of patients with RA. However, its pathogenesis is still unclear and there is a lack of effective therapeutic targets. In the present study, tandem mass tag‑labeled proteomics was used to research the lung tissue proteins in RA model (adjuvant arthritis, AA) rats that had secondary lung injury. The aim of the present study was to identify the differentially expressed proteins related to RA‑lung injury, determine their potential role in the pathogenesis of RA‑lung injury and provide potential targets for clinical treatment. Lung tissue samples were collected from AA‑lung injury and normal rats. The differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified by tandem mass spectrometry. Bioinformatic analysis was used to assess the biological processes and signaling pathways associated with these DEPs. A total of 310 DEPs were found, of which 244 were upregulated and 66 were downregulated. KEGG anlysis showed that 'fatty acid degradation', 'fatty acid metabolism', 'fatty acid elongation', 'complement and coagulation cascades', 'peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor signaling pathway' and 'hypoxia‑inducible factor signaling pathway' were significantly upregulated in the lung tissues of AA‑lung injury. Immunofluorescence staining confirmed the increased expression of clusterin, serine protease inhibitors and complement 1qc in lung tissue of rats with AA lung injury. In the present study, the results revealed the significance of certain DEPs (for example, C9, C1qc and Clu) in the occurrence and development of RA‑lung injury and provided support through experiments to identify potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis and prevention of RA‑lung injury.
