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

Purpose: We aimed to investigate differences in the immune response between the onset and remission phases of AQP4 antibody-positive optic neuritis (AQP4-ON). Methods: Whole blood samples were collected from 7 healthy volunteers, 6 patients with AQP4-ON in the acute phase and 6 patients with AQP4-ON in the remission phase. Gene expression patterns and immune response pathways associated with the disease phases were identified by sequencing the RNA. CIBERSORTx was used to identify infiltrated immune cells. Results: The enrichment analysis showed that Toll-like receptors, cytokine activity and neutrophil-mediated immune activity were significantly enriched in the acute phase, whereas cell cycle pathway was significantly enriched in the remission phase. Conclusion: The present findings provide valuable insights into different immune responses during different phases of AQP4-ON, which is helpful for patients to develop targeted therapies and personalized treatment strategies.
