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

purposeSYVN1 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident E3 ubiquitin ligase that has an essential function along with SEL1L in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the expression of peripheral blood ncRNAs and SYVN1-SEL1L affected by DMARDs treatment.

methodsTwenty-five newly diagnosed RA patients were randomly assigned to receive conventional DMARDs (csDMARDs) and methylprednisolone for six months. The peripheral blood gene expression of SYVN1 and SEL1L and possible regulatory axes, NEAT1, miR-125a-5p, and miR-19b-3p, were evaluated before and after qRT-PCR. We also compared differences between the patients and healthy controls (HCs), and statistical analyses were performed to determine the correlation between ncRNAs with SYVN1-SEL1L and the clinical parameters of RA.

resultsExpression of NEAT1 (P = 0.0001), miR-19b-3p (P = 0.007), miR-125a-5p (P = 0.005), and SYVN1 (P = 0.036) was significantly increased in newly diagnosed patients compared to HCs; also, miR-125a-5p, miR-19b-3p, and SYVN1 were significantly overexpressed after treatment (P = 0.001, P = 0.001, and P = 0.005, respectively). NEAT1 was positively correlated with SYVN1, and miR-125a-5p had a negative correlation with anti-cyclic citrullinated peptides. The ROC curve analysis showed the potential role of selected ncRNAs in RA pathogenesis.

conclusionThe results indicate the ineffectiveness of the csDMARDs in reducing SYVN1 expression. The difference in expression of ncRNAs might be useful markers for monitoring disease activity and determining therapeutic responses in RA patients. Key Points • The expression of NEAT1 is significantly upregulated in RA patients compared to HC subjects. • miR-19b-3p, miR-125a-5p, and SYVN1 are significantly upregulated in RA patients compared to HC subjects. • The expression of miR-19b-3p and miR-125a-5p is significantly increased in RA patients after treatment with DMARDs and methylprednisolone. • NEAT1 is positively correlated with SYVN1.
