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

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease strongly associated with human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27). However, the incomplete penetrance of HLA-B27 suggests that additional molecular mechanisms contribute to AS pathogenesis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of immune responses, but their roles in AS pathogenesis remain incompletely understood. In this study, circRNA expression profiles were examined by high-throughput RNA sequencing and selected circRNAs were validated by quantitative RT-PCR in T cells from AS patients and healthy controls. Among the validated circRNAs, circRNPS1 was significantly up-regulated in T cells from AS patients. Overexpression of circRNPS1 in activated Jurkat cells increased
