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) remains a major unmet medical challenge, characterised by biological complexity, patient heterogeneity, and the absence of curative treatments. To advance mechanistic understanding and support therapeutic discovery, we developed a comprehensive Molecular Interaction Map (MIM). Differential expression analyses were conducted on peripheral blood samples from SjD patients and healthy controls across three datasets (GSE51092, UKPSSR, PRECISESADS), identifying 1,625 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), of which 25 were shared across all datasets. Nine common DEGs were linked to interferon signalling, reinforcing its pivotal role in SjD pathogenesis. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed 137 pathways, 43 of which were integrated into the MIM alongside literature-derived knowledge. The resulting SjD Map, freely available at https://sjdmap.elixir-luxembourg.org/ , encompasses 829 molecular entities connected by 598 interactions by transcriptomic data and by curated evidence. This first comprehensive SjD Map provides an integrative framework for visualising pathways, overlaying omics data, and exploring therapeutic opportunities.
