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

The DJ-1 protein, known as an oxidative stress sensor, plays an important role in immunological processes. Using DJ-1 gene knock-out mice, we identified DJ-1 as a positive regulator in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). DJ-1 deficiency significantly alleviated skin lesion, splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, while reducing multiple autoantibodies and immunoglobulin levels. Moreover, DJ-1 deficiency provided protection against renal hypertrophy and decreased glomerular deposition of immunoglobulin, ultimately leading to reduced albuminuria and SLE activity. These findings demonstrate that DJ-1 expression critically influences the progression of lupus-like disease.
