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

Biomarker discovery in sarcoidosis mechanisms represents an innovative research tool. Inflammatory responses in sarcoidosis patients were analyzed by flow cytometry to highlight CD8a+CD45+, CD45+CD8a-, CD4+CD19+, CD4+CD19-, CD3+CD56+CD16+, CD56+CD16+, and CD16+CD56- as predictive biomarkers. In our study, monocyte-derived macrophage activation (M1 phenotype), represented by CD8a+CD45+ expression, is characteristic of granulomatous inflammation in active and progressive sarcoidosis and serves as a biomarker with very good accuracy and high specificity for establishing a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. As a prognostic biomarker, it is an independent predictive factor of disease progression, being negatively associated with applied treatments by sarcoidosis stage. The accumulation of activated CD4+ T-helper cells in sarcoid granulomas is responsible for the establishment of a pro-inflammatory phenotype and serves as a biomarker with good accuracy and high specificity for sarcoidosis diagnosis. As a prognostic biomarker, CD3+CD56+CD16+ (iNKT) is an independent predictor associated negatively with disease progression, being positively correlated with treatment applied by sarcoidosis stage. CD biomarker analysis, yielding predictive models with specificity for diagnosis and prognosis, is an important research tool for estimating disease progression in patients with different inflammatory response phenotypes across the stages of sarcoidosis.
