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

Objective: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a highly heterogeneous autoimmune disease. Previous studies have suggested that rheumatoid factor (RF)-positive patients appear to have a higher incidence of systemic involvement. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to elucidate the potential biological mechanisms through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 3 healthy controls, 6 RF-negative (RF Results: Analysis of B cell subsets revealed a significantly increased proportion of plasma cells in RF Conclusion: The RF status in pSS patients is closely associated with specific immune cell profiles.
