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

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified genetic susceptibility loci associated with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Single nucleotide polymorphisms related to phosphorylation (phosSNPs) are critical nonsynonymous mutations exerting substantial influence on gene expression regulation. The aim of this study was to identify JDM susceptibility genes in the GWAS loci by the use of phosSNPs. We explored quantitative trait loci (QTLs) among the phosSNPs associated with JDM using data from eQTL (bulk tissues and single-cell) and pQTL studies. For gene expression and protein levels significantly influenced by JDM-associated phosSNPs, we assessed their associations with JDM through MR analyses. Additionally, we conducted differential expression gene analyses, incorporating single-cell transcriptomic profiling of 6 JDM cases and 11 juvenile controls (99,396 cells). We identified 31 phosSNPs situated in the 6p21 locus that were associated with JDM. Half of these phosSNPs showed effects on gene expression in various cells and circulating protein levels. In MR analyses, we established associations between the expression levels of pivotal JDM-associated genes, including MICB, C4A, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DRB5, and PSMB9, in skin, muscle, or blood cells and circulating levels of C4A, with JDM. Utilizing single-cell eQTL data, we identified a total of 276 association signals across 14 distinct immune cell types for 28 phosSNPs. Further insights were gained through single-cell differential expression analysis, revealing differential expression of PSMB9, HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DPB1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, and HLA-DRB1 in immune cells. The present study pinpointed phosSNPs within susceptibility genes for JDM and unraveled the intricate relationships among these SNPs, gene expression levels, and JDM.
