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

Sjögren's Disease (SjD), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) are autoimmune diseases with overlapping genetic features, yet the etiologies of these diseases are poorly understood. Using these rheumatic diseases as an example of proof of concept, our aim was to develop a tool that simplifies analysis of gene-disease associations applicable to any disease and to perform comparisons. This tool is meant to provide insights into associated gene symbols and gene expression data to identify candidate biomarkers in common among these diseases. The Diseasesv2.0 and GTExv8 databases were utilized for data collection, providing searchable disease names, affiliated gene symbols, confidence scores (ranging from 0 to 5, with 5 being the most confident), and gene expression across the panel of 54 tissue types present in GTExv8. Data infrastructure was established on a Postgres database using Plotlyv5.17.0 and Streamlitv1.27.2 Python packages. The resulting database was used to investigate the genetic associations among SjD, RA, and SLE, including confidence scores from 2.50 to 5.00. STRINGv12 analysis determined significant pathways (FDR < 0.05). Analysis using our tool revealed the following refined gene associations for each disease: SjD based on 'Sjogren' search term (
