Coordinated immune dysregulation in Juvenile Dermatomyositis revealed by single-cell genomics.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) is one of several childhood-onset autoimmune disorders characterized by a type I interferon response and autoantibodies. Treatment options are limited due to incomplete understanding of how the disease emerges from dysregulated cell states across the immune system. We therefore investigated the blood of JDM patients at different stages of disease activity using single-cell transcriptomics paired with surface protein expression. By immunophenotyping peripheral blood mononuclear cells, we observed skewing of the B cell compartment towards an immature naive state as a hallmark of JDM. Furthermore, we find that these changes in B cells are paralleled by signatures of Th2-mediated inflammation. Additionally, our work identified SIGLEC-1 expression in monocytes as a composite measure of heterogeneous type I interferon activity in disease. We applied network analysis to reveal that hyperactivation of the type I interferon response in all immune populations is coordinated with dysfunctional protein processing and regulation of cell death programming. This analysis separated the ubiquitously expressed type I interferon response into a central hub and revealed previously masked cell states. Together, these findings reveal the coordinated immune dysregulation underpinning JDM and provide novel insight into strategies for restoring balance in immune function.
