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

The notable comorbidity among autoimmune diseases underscores their shared genetic underpinnings, particularly evident in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), type 1 diabetes (T1D), and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the exact components and mechanisms of this shared genetic structure remain poorly understood. Here we show that ROMO1 is a key shared genetic component among RA, MS, and T1D. Using differential gene expression (DGE) and LASSO regression analyses of bulk RNA-seq data from whole blood tissues, we identified ROMO1 as a potential shared genetic factor. A multi-sample analysis with external Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data revealed ROMO1's consistent association with immune cell patterns across tissues in all three diseases. Single-gene Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) suggested ROMO1's involvement in the reactive oxygen species (ROS) pathway, which was further substantiated by conjoint analysis with 256 ROS pathway-related genes(ROSGs) from Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB). Single-gene Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis highlighted ROMO1's potential as a disease biomarker. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis showed significantly altered ROMO1 expression in monocytes and other immune cells compared to healthy control (HC). Immune infiltration analysis revealed ROMO1's significant association with monocytes across all three diseases. Furthermore, two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data demonstrated that ROMO1 could regulate epitopes on monocytes, potentially lowering autoimmune disease risk. Our findings clarify the importance of ROMO1 in the shared genetic architecture of RA, MS, and T1D, and its underlying mechanism in disease development.
