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

Objectives: Autoimmune diseases such as primary Sjögren's disease (pSjD) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) share clinical and serological features, including type I interferon signatures, autoantibody formation, and chronic inflammation, but the underlying immunopathology is not the same. To support the development of targeted therapies, we aimed to systematically characterize disease-specific alterations in peripheral immune cell subsets of pSjD and SLE compared to healthy donors (HD). Methods: We analyzed peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 15 HD, 12 pSjD and 21 SLE patients by mass cytometry. We manually pre-gated viable CD19 Results: In the B cell compartment, we identified 13 clusters. SLE patients showed an relative expansion of plasmablasts and two double-negative (IgD Conclusion: SLE is characterized by B cell activation, plasmablast expansion, and costimulatory upregulation, while pSjD is mainly defined by alterations in the CD8
