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

This study aimed to analyze single-cell sequencing data to investigate immune cell interactions in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Vertebral bone marrow blood was collected from three AS patients for 10X single-cell sequencing. Analysis of single-cell data revealed distinct cell types in AS and UC patients. Cells significantly co-expressing immune cells (P < 0.05) were subjected to communication analysis. Overlapping genes of these co-expressing immune cells were subjected to GO and KEGG analyses. Key genes were identified using STRING and Cytoscape to assess their correlation with immune cell expression. The results showed the significance of neutrophils in both diseases (P < 0.01), with notable interactions identified through communication analysis. XBP1 emerged as a Hub gene for both diseases, with AUC values of 0.760 for AS and 0.933 for UC. Immunohistochemistry verified that the expression of XBP1 was significantly lower in the AS group and significantly greater in the UC group than in the control group (P < 0.01). This finding highlights the critical role of neutrophils in both AS and UC, suggesting the presence of shared immune response elements. The identification of XBP1 as a potential therapeutic target offers promising intervention avenues for both diseases.
