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

Objectives: Inflammatory markers such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are poorly informative about interferon (IFN)-related disorders. In these conditions, the measure of the interferon score (IS), obtained by measuring the expression of IFN-stimulated genes, has been proposed. Flow cytometry-based assays measuring sialic-acid-binding Ig-like lectin 1 (Siglec-1) expression could be a more practical tool for evaluating IFN-inflammation. The study compared Siglec-1 measures with IS and other inflammatory indexes. We compared Siglec-1 measures with IS and other inflammatory indexes in real-world paediatric rheumatology experience. Methods: We recruited patients with immuno-rheumatological conditions, acute infectious illness and patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery as controls. Siglec-1 expression was measured in all samples, and IS, ESR and CRP were also recorded if available. Results: Overall, 98 subjects were enrolled in the study, with a total of 104 measures of Siglec-1. Compared with IS, Siglec-1 expression showed good accuracy (86.0%), specificity (72.7%) and sensitivity (85.7%). The measure of the percentage of Siglec-1-positive cells performed best at low levels of IFN-inflammation, while the measure of mean fluorescence intensity performed best at higher levels. Conclusion: Siglec-1 measurement by flow cytometry is an easy tool to detect IFN-related inflammation, even in subjects with normal results of common inflammation indexes.
