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

backgroundHashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most common organ-specific autoimmune disease, and its etiology may be related to genetic, environmental, and epigenetic factors. However, its exact pathogenesis remains elusive.

methodsIn this study, single-cell transcriptomic sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were performed on the thyroid tissues of six HT patients, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of four HT patients, and normal thyroid tissue of one healthy control. A panoramic single-cell atlas of HT was constructed to explore changes in the abundance of different cell subsets in the states of the disease.

resultsA single-cell atlas of HT was constructed, and eight cell types were defined based on the marker genes. Subsequent clustering analysis of T cells, B cells, myeloid, and thyroid follicular cells revealed that the abundance rates of the CD8

conclusionThe present study further validated the role of immune cells in the pathogenesis of HT at the cellular level. In addition, a new cell subset B_MEF2B_BCL6 was found. It could be speculated that MEF2B mainly transactivates the expression level of the transcriptional repressor BCL6, leading to the development of HT. A new cell subset TFC_PAX8_NKX2-1 was also identified, in which the specific transcription factors PAX8 and NKX2-1 were highly expressed in HT tissues.
