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

backgroundDermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune disease with a high rate of disability and mortality especially in DM with concurrent interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD). Little is known about inflammatory signature and heterogeneous endotypes of DM.

objectiveWe aimed to illustrate the systemic inflammatory signature of DM and define an ILD-associated endotype.

methodsOlink proteomic analysis was performed on serum samples obtained from DM patients (n = 32), DM patients with ILD (n = 16), and healthy controls (n = 19). Transcriptomic data from skin samples was utilized to assess immune infiltration and investigate the correlation between protein and mRNA levels of biomarkers. Additionally, the prognostic value and clinical significance of identified biomarkers were validated through follow-up studies of DM patients and immunofluorescence analysis of skin tissues.

resultsProteomic data revealed the inflammatory signature of DM, with GO and KEGG enrichment analyses identifying chemotaxis-related pathways. Transcriptomic analysis of skin samples indicated upregulated inflammatory responses and M1 macrophage infiltration in DM. Two chemokines, CXCL10 and CXCL11, were identified as highly associated with immune infiltration and DM progression.

conclusionsOur data suggest that serum CXCL10 and CXCL11 reflect the inflammatory burden of DM. The identified biomarkers hold promise for determining an ILD-associated endotype and predicting clinical outcomes, thereby paving the way for timely management of DM and prevention of complications.
