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

aimImpaired apoptosis and proliferation resulted in autoreactive lymphocyte development and inflammation in Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). TP53, BAX, FOXO1, and RB1 are related genes in cell survival, proliferation, and inflammation which could be important in RA development and disease severity. Here we investigated their expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from RA patients in comparison to healthy controls.

methodsFifty healthy controls and 50 RA patients were selected. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to assess the gene expression level in PBMCs.

resultsThe mRNA expression of TP53 (FC = 0.65, p = .000), BAX (FC = 0.76, p = .008), FOXO1 (FC = 0.59, p = .000) and RB1 (FC = 0.50, p = .000) were significantly reduced in RA PBMCs. TP53 expression was negatively correlated with miR-16-5p (p = .032) and FOXO1 expression was negatively correlated with miR-335-5p (p = .005) and miR-34a-5p (p = .014). A positive correlation was seen between TP53 expression and its downstream gene, BAX (p = .001). FOXO1 expression was also negatively correlated with disease activity, DAS28 (p = .021).

conclusionAll selected genes have downregulated expression in RA PBMCs which could be correlated with RA pathogenesis by regulating apoptosis, cell survival, inflammatory mediator production, and proliferation. Due to the correlation of miR-16-5p, miR-34a-5p, and miR-335-5p with TP53 and FOXO1 expression in RA PBMCs, they could be used as future therapeutic targets.
