Reactome pathway analysis from whole-blood transcriptome reveals unique characteristics of systemic sclerosis patients at the preclinical stage.

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.
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
Objective: This study aims to characterize differential expressed pathways (DEP) in subjects with preclinical systemic sclerosis (PreSSc) characterized uniquely by Raynaud phenomenon, specific autoantibodies, and/or capillaroscopy positive for scleroderma pattern. Methods: Whole-blood samples from 33 PreSSc with clinical prospective data (baseline and after 4 years of follow-up) and 16 matched healthy controls (HC) were analyzed for global gene expression transcriptome analysis via RNA sequencing. Functional Analysis of Individual Microarray Expression method annotated Reactome individualized pathways. ANOVA analysis identified DEP whose predictive capability were tested in logistic regression models after extensive internal validation. Results: At 4 years, 42.4% subjects progressed (evolving PreSSc), while the others kept stable PreSSc clinical features (stable PreSSc). At baseline, out of 831 pathways, 541 DEP were significant at a false discovery rate <0.05, differentiating PreSSc Conclusion: PreSSc had distinguished Reactome pathway signatures compared to HC. Progression to definite SSc was characterized by a shift in biological fingertips. Calcium-related events promoting endothelial damage and vasculopathy may be relevant to disease progression.
