The Inactive X Chromosome: A Genetic Driver of Female-Biased Rheumatic Autoimmune Disorders?
Review in European journal of immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Females have a better ability to resolve infections compared to males, but also a greater susceptibility to develop autoimmunity. Besides the initial interest in the contribution of sex-steroid hormone signaling, the role of genetic factors linked to the X chromosome has recently received much attention. In humans and mice, the number of X chromosomes, rather than sex-steroid hormones, is associated with a higher risk to develop autoimmunity, particularly rheumatic diseases, such as SLE, Sjögren's syndrome, or systemic sclerosis. In this review, we will summarize the recent advances in the various mechanisms and pathways involving the X chromosome in female sex-biased autoimmune diseases. We will particularly focus on the experimental evidence suggesting that expression of X-linked genes due to dysregulation in X chromosome inactivation maintenance could contribute to the female predisposition for autoautoimmunity.
