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

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease mediated by autoantibodies. The important roles of circRNAs modified by m6A methylation have been reported in the pathogenesis of other autoimmune diseases, but remain unclear in MG. To address this point, we collected peripheral blood mononuclear cells from six MG patients and six healthy controls and performed m6A‑circRNA epitranscriptomic microarray and RNA sequencing. Differentially m6A-modified circRNAs and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed. A network was constructed containing 17 circRNAs, 30 miRNAs, and 34 DEGs. The GSE85452 dataset was downloaded. DEGs that were differentially expressed in the GSE85452 dataset were selected as seed genes. Finally, four candidate m6A-modified circRNAs (hsa_circ_0084735, hsa_circ_0018652, hsa_circ_0025731, and hsa_circ_0030997) were identified through a random walk with restart. We found that they had different degree correlations with different immune cells. The results of MeRIP-qPCR showed that the m6A methylated levels of hsa_circ_0084735 and hsa_circ_0025731 were downregulated in MG patients, while the other two circRNAs were not significantly different between MG and control group. For the first time, we explored the pathogenesis of MG at the epigenetic transcriptome level. Our results will open new perspectives for MG research and identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for MG.
