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

Background: This study employed RNA-seq technology and meta-analysis to unveil the molecular mechanisms of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) within the central nervous system. Methods: Downloaded transcriptomic data on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and analyzed differential genes in peripheral blood samples of NPSLE patients and healthy individuals. Employed WGCNA to identify key genes related to cognitive impairment and validated findings via RNA-seq. Conducted GO, KEGG, and GSEA analyses, and integrated PPI networks to explore gene regulatory mechanisms. Assessed gene impacts on dendritic cells and blood-brain barrier using RT-qPCR, ELISA, and Results: Public databases and RNA-seq data have revealed a significant upregulation of CCL2 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 2) in the peripheral blood of both SLE and NPSLE patients, primarily secreted by mature dendritic cells. Furthermore, the secretion of CCL2 by mature dendritic cells may act through the RSAD2-ISG15 axis and is associated with the activation of the NLRs (Nod Like Receptor Signaling Pathway) signaling pathway in vascular endothelial cells. Subsequent Conclusions: The secretion of CCL2 by dendritic cells induces pyroptosis in vascular endothelial cells, thereby promoting blood-brain barrier damage and triggering cognitive impairment in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
